The Remnant Trust
The Remnant Trust, Inc. is an educational foundation located at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. It houses a collection of original and first edition works dealing with topics including individual liberty and human dignity. Some of the Trust's pieces date back as early as 1250. The Trust makes its collection available to colleges, universities, and other organizations for use by students, faculty, scholars and the general public. Those exposed are encouraged to touch, feel and read the originals.
==History==
The Remnant Trust was established in 1997 by Brian Bex, an entrepreneur and television host noted for his politically conservative viewpoints. Bex accumulated a large collection of rare books and materials relating to American history and the theme of political liberty. Initially operating from a base in Hagerstown, Indiana, Bex began making these materials available on loan to colleges.〔Connie Lauerman, ("A Rare Opportunity For Students To Get In Touch With History" ), ''Chicago Tribune'', May 27, 1998.〕 By 2006, the collection had moved to a new home in a renovated Carnegie Library at Warder Park in Jeffersonville, Indiana.〔Paula Burba, ("Remnant Trust grows as new home prepared in S. Indiana" ), ''The Courier-Journal'', October 10, 2005.〕〔("Rare works collection goes public" ), Associated Press in ''Post-Tribune'', August 21, 2006 .〕
In 2009, the Trust announced that it would move again, due to disagreements with the library foundation over the condition of the building.〔David A. Mann, ("Jeffersonville leaders look ahead at fate of Carnegie Library after Remnant Trust departs: The remnant fuss" ), ''News and Tribune'', April 18, 2009.〕 The Trust relocated to the former Billy Sunday museum at Grace College in Winona Lake, Indiana.〔("The Remnant Trust Moves to Winona Lake" ), ''Manufacturing Close-Up'', June 17, 2010 .〕〔Kerry Hubbart, ("Remnant Trust headquarters moves closer to Fort Wayne" ), ''The News-Sentinel'', December 4, 2010.〕 In April 2014, a new permanent home for the collection was announced, at the Southwest Collection/Special Collections Library at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas.〔Blake Ursch, ("Tech to be permanent home of collection of priceless manuscripts" ), ''Lubbock Avalanche-Journal'', May 4, 2014.〕
