Our Mission

The Society for the Advancement of Vivian G. Harsh Research Collection seeks to ensure the preservation, growth and development of the Harsh Research Collection. In recognition of the need to preserve for future generations the legacy embodied in this priceless resource, the Society formed to raise funds to promote the Collection and make it more accessible, and to purchase artwork to beautify the space.
