Endow writing that is meaningful to you or a reader you know as a Guardian of American Letters.
“The minute I held Library of America’s Parkman volume — even before I read it — I knew I would become its Guardian.”—Andrea G. Stillman
Guardian of Francis Parkman: The Oregon Trail, The Conspiracy of Pontiac Adopted in memory of her aunt, Mary Riepma Ross (1910–2013)
You can have a permanent association with a great American writer by adopting a Library of America volume through the Guardians of American Letters Fund. The volume you select will be kept permanently in print and preserved for generations to come.
Your endowment of a volume can express your own admiration for an author or body of writing or it can pay tribute to a loved one’s interests, avocation, or life’s work. You can adopt a volume in honor of a reader or in memory of a friend, family member, or mentor.
Guardians and individuals they designate are recognized on a special acknowledgment page in the front of the volume of their choice. This acknowledgment will appear in every future printing of the book.
