The Remnant Trust was established in 1997 by Brian Bex, an entrepreneur and television host noted for his politically conservative  viewpoints. Bex accumulated a large collection of rare books and materials relating to American history and the theme of political liberty. Initially operating from a base in Hagerstown, Indiana, Bex began making these materials available on loan to colleges. By 2006, the collection had moved to a new home in a renovated Carnegie Library at Warder Park in Jeffersonville, Indiana. In 2009, the Trust announced that it would move again, due to disagreements with the library foundation over the condition of the building. The Trust relocated to the former Billy Sunday museum at Grace College in Winona Lake, Indiana. In  April 2014, a new permanent home for the collection was announced, at the Southwest Collection/Special Collections Library at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. In January 2022, the Trust relocated to Indianapolis, Indiana.
