Membership in the Friends is not restricted to Fellows of the Academy. The aim of the Friends is to collect funds to purchase and process important additions to the collections of the Rare Book Room, and to support programs directly related to the rare book collection. The Friends meet annually to review recent developments in the Rare Book Room and the Historical Collections.
