William L. Clements Library
Give to the Annual Fund
The legacy of William L. Clements lives on in one of the half-dozen greatest American history libraries in the world. The collections here are extraordinarily rich in rare Americana from Columbus through the 19th century, and they constitute a major point of pride for the University of Michigan and the people of this state. Scholars, teachers, collectors, and anyone with an interest in America’s early heritage can fully appreciate the work of the Clements Library.
Your gift to the Annual Fund makes sure that the Clements can offer the best in programs, preserve its treasures, and make the collections fully accessible, both online and in the Library.
Maybe you’ve been to the Clements to use our collections for research or scholarly advancement, volunteer your time and energy, or view one of our exhibits. With your continued support, the Clements programs will continue to benefit a wide audience of scholars, students and visitors.
All of this is possible only with your financial support. The true value of the Clements Library is found in the excitement of visitors whose interest in history is encouraged by seeing "the original book" or manuscript which literally changed the course of history. It is the undergraduate whose experience at the University of Michigan was made memorable by being able to use "the actual letters" of Anthony Wayne or Frederick Douglass. It is to be found in the numerous articles and books of historians and writers around the world who have expanded our knowledge of the past as a direct result of the Clements Library's collections.
