Alexander N. Charters, who lived from 1916 to 2018, was an expert in adult and continuing education recognized internationally. The library has curated historical documents and university records dating back to 1949 that include manuscripts, prints, visuals, and media materials related to adult education.
This collection is known as the Alexander N. Charters Library for Educators of Adults and acknowledges Charters’ contributions towards promoting and expanding SCRC’s adult education holdings. Through his generosity, SCRC annually offers grants to one or more researchers interested in utilizing these collections for their work. The grant amount varies based on the scope of research outlined in each applicant's proposal.
