Craig D. Ritchie Fund

Established in 1928 by a bequest from Craig D. Ritchie, this fund supports acquisitions for Penn's Rare Book & Manuscript Library.

Over the years, bequests and planned gifts of all sizes have played an important role in the growth and success of the Penn Library. As a main source of endowment support, they help ensure that the Library will be financially sound for generations to come.
