Howard University's historic Founders Library is now a national treasure, as named on Feb. 29 by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, an organization that so far has renovated 14 of 50 preservation projects nationally and promises to help bring the venerable building into the 21st Century with the latest technological improvements.
Representatives from the National Trust and Howard said they will work together to raise the money for the improvements and provide the expertise to transform the library, which is the home to Moorland-Spingarn Research Center, the world's largest non-circulating collection for documentation of the history and culture of people of African descent.
