The White Lung Preservation Project-- Wishes Granted (Almost!)

Our fundraising page-- click here to donate
Langsdale Library Special Collections is thrilled with the love shown to The White Lung Association Collection! Our link to the White Lung Preservation Project went live this week, and within two days, we met our initial fundraising goal, and then some ($4500 as of this writing-- and our new goal is to reach the 7 grand mark.)
The WLA Records preserve the history of not only a nationally prominent--now shuttered-- nonprofit, but tells the story of how Baltimore laborers challenged workplace safety standards when it came to asbestos exposure.
