Play a part in preserving this important history
To build awareness and support for the Library, we are identifying and reaching out to the original thinkers and doers who made charters a reality. While the Library is a national initiative, we are focusing our efforts state-by-state. The initial partner states are Colorado, Michigan, and Minnesota, with plans for California next. For each state, we will:
Identify and solicit commitments from key people and organizations
Partner with an Institution that specializes in archiving historical works
Gather, archive, and digitize original source materials, and record oral histories
Promote the Library, share the charter story, and influence the future
Help the Founders Library with a donation!
Help us capture the history of charter schools with past documentation
We could use your help to identify and connect with early charter pioneers and locate primary source materials and other historical charter records. Contact us if you can help!
