Anonymous Gift To Enhance Library and Archives

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1176/pn.36.16.0017c

The American Psychiatric Foundation has received an anonymous gift from an APA member to establish an endowment fund to support the development, collection, and preservation of resources about the history of psychiatry in the APA Library/Archives.

Through this gift, the foundation will be able to support the growth of the reference and circulating collection materials on the history of psychiatry; promote the importance of maintaining and expanding the rare books collection; and enhance the development, preservation, and dissemination of oral history resources in psychiatry.

In addition, the fund will provide assistance to scholars undertaking research on the history of psychiatry and provide support for APA’s Benjamin Rush Lectureship on the history of psychiatry. Additional contributions to the fund are welcome.

For more information about contributing to this fund or creating your own endowment fund to benefit a program or activity in APA or the foundation, contact Donna Redd by phone at (202) 682-6242 or by e-mail at .
