Mission Statement

Special Collections and Archives, in support of Wright State University’s mission of educational excellence, collects, preserves, and provides access to primary sources that document the history of aviation, aviation technology, and the legacy of the Wright Brothers for which the university is named, the local and regional history of the Miami Valley, and the history of Wright State University.  Also documented are the history of medicine, local medical history, and aerospace medicine.  Special Collections and Archives encourages and promotes the use of these materials for teaching, learning, research, and public service.
