The University Libraries are pleased to bring the Remnant Trust traveling exhibit to DePauw University. The Remnant Trust is a public educational foundation that shares an actively growing collection of original and 1st edition works dealing with the topics of liberty and dignity with some pieces dating as early as 1250.

The exhibit can be viewed in the lobby of Roy O. West Library during regular library hours.

This exhibit is expressly for educational and research use by our community. If you wish to view and handle these documents in the Archives or in one of your classes, please contact the University Archives to make arrangements.
