Harrison, William Henry

The Frederick Wiedman Jr. Collection of Presidential papers is a fascinating group of documents each signed by one of our 39 United States Presidents. The collection provides a glimpse into the lives of the individuals who have held the most important office in the nation.

The collection was assembled by Frederick Wiedman Jr, a long-time Rochester attorney and supporter of RIT.

Materials relating to the Rochester Athenaeum and Young Men's Association (RAYMA). A predecessor of the Rochester Institute of Technology, RAYMA was formed in 1838 when the Rochester Athenaeum merged with the Young Men's Association. The collection contains fliers for RAYMA activities, as well as a list of individuals who gave lectures to the organization.
