The Friends of the Bancroft Library

The Fund for The Friends of The Bancroft Library provides general and special program support under the recommendation of The Friends of the Bancroft Library. The Friends are dedicated to supporting and developing the Bancroft collections, keeping them open without charge to everyone engaged in relevant research. With the Friends’ help, Bancroft has been able to augment its limited funds to acquire, preserve, and display rare books, manuscripts, maps, pictures, and other materials.
