Through its publications, and its annual meetings and other
means, the Friends will provide a forum to exchange information
and educate its members and the public about the art, craft,
history, science and technology of papermaking, the book arts,
and other diverse interests which captured the imagination
of Dard Hunter (1883-1966). These forums and educational activities
will also promote and encourage the continued and creative
practice of hand papermaking, allied paper arts, the book
arts, and other arts practiced by Dard Hunter. The study of
paper and papermaking, preservation of historical sites and
artifacts, conservation, scientific and technical research
shall all be encouraged.
The Friends' activities are intended to serve as a bridge
between artists, scientists, and the lay public in all of
the above mentioned areas of concern, the collected artifacts,
books, archives, and other materials, which were formerly
called the Dard Hunter Paper Museum (here-after called "the
Dard Hunter Collection"), form the core collection of
the Robert C. Williams Paper Museum in Atlanta,
Georgia. Promoting interest in the collection as an important
part of the world's cultural heritage is central to the Friends'
purpose.
