This collection is composed of materials created by the Remnant Trust, the South Dakota State University Remnant Trust Committee, and the SDSU Archives & Special Collections. The materials include promotional publications produced by the Remnant Trust and documents related to a gala celebration marking the opening of the collection at SDSU. These records reflect the university’s collaboration with the Remnant Trust and its commitment to fostering educational engagement through access to rare and significant works.

The materials document the institutional and public engagement surrounding the introduction of the Remnant Trust collection to South Dakota State University. They highlight both the ceremonial and scholarly aspects of the project, offering insight into the university's efforts to elevate public access to primary texts focused on liberty, human rights, and historical inquiry.
