Support

Development and conservation for special collections is supported by George R. Beach, Everett D. Graff (Class of 1906), the Martin Rosenthal Memorial Library Funds, and others. Donations and modest purchases relate integrally to the collections listed above; occasional, more significant donations and purchases tend dramatically to relate and pull together aspects of collections.
