The Archives’ Wright Brothers Collection is one of the most complete collections of Wright material in the world. The collection includes more than 4,000 original photographs, as well as thousands of documents and publications, including their personal library, albums, medals and awards, family letters, diaries and personal correspondence.
Jane Wildermuth, head of Special Collections and Archives, said Wright State will receive $4,999 in federal Library Services and Technology Act funds. The funds are being used to pay a metadata contractor to update and improve the metadata to ensure it meets the metadata guidelines for inclusion in the DPLA.
