Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memorial to the Fifty-Fourth General Assembly of Tennessee Regarding the Collection of the Tennessee Historical Society
Moreover, the State Library was then strong and active and growing, and there was no room for the Society.
So, at this juncture, the Society gladly accepted the offer of the Watkins Institute trustees, who were also prominent among its members, and removed its collection to the Wat kins Institute Building. In this building: the Society has ever since stored its collection, and has maintained an historical and archaeological museum freely open to the public, being materially assisted in so doing by the Watkins Institute trus tees, who, in the expenditure of the income of the funds which they hold in trust for public uses, have freely and generously placed a large and excellent room at the service of the Society, without expense for rent or heat or light.
