Become a Partner in Preserving the Past for the Future!
As the nation’s first presidential library, the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library and Museums has made its historic, rare, and significant Manuscript Collections available to researchers for more than a century. Scholars, students, historians, educators, genealogists and journalists from throughout the United States and beyond travel to the institution each year to use its collections. Their work – whether a book, documentary, article, thesis, dissertation, or classroom lesson plan - provide all of us with a better understanding of America’s past and ourselves.
Continue the Tradition of Excellence
In the face of rising costs, donors and their gifts have played an increasingly important role in helping purchase original documents, diaries, letters, and records.
A donation to the Hayes Manuscripts Fund is much more than a financial contribution; it is an opportunity to become a partner in preserving the past for the future. Join us in our effort to continue the tradition of excellence by providing the highest quality research materials.
100% of every contribution goes directly to the purchase of important manuscripts that will be used intensively by researchers now and in the decades ahead.
