The
Remnant Trust was extablished to combat what was perceived
to be a serious reduction of critical thought and historic
awareness. The trust began collecting original editions of
great works on liberty and personal freedom, and made them
available (by appointment.)
As
the collection grew and the Trust gained more recognition,
Trust President Kris Bex saw the opportunity to reach even
more people by moving to the historic Carnegie Library in
Jeffersonville, Indiana. From this location, the collection
could serve the people of the greater Metro Louisville area
and beyond.
The
collection now contains more than 4,000 books, with 650 considered
as rare pieces. Many in the collection are first edition works
on liberty, with the entire collection spanning 1,200 years
of writing. A sample of some of the more exciting pieces in
the collection include:
