A key objective is to provide researchers with convenient, integrated access to historical collections held by multiple private and public archives and libraries around the world while also setting the stage for a cooperative program for maintaining information about the people documented in the collections.

Although none of these books are the originals that once sat in the rotunda library, they are exact duplicate copies.
