The Institute collects primary source materials such as manuscripts, diaries, correspondence, photographs and the like, as well as rare books, pamphlets and serials. We usually do not collect press clippings or copies of documents readily available elsewhere (more about the collection profile).  If you would like to discuss a possible donation, please get in touch with one of the following persons.
