Our mission is to inspire people to discover the American experience by exploring the tangible history of Northeast Ohio and to promote entrepreneurship and philanthropy in the region.
WRHS has the resources and facilities to provide a safe, secure, environmentally-controlled facility for the long-term storage of organizations’ materials, but we also understand that active organizations often want to retain ownership and management of their stories.
