Following along a timeline of liberty and dignity, our collection is comprised of some of the greatest works of man that focuses on the proper function of government, responsibility of citizenship and how we live together in society.
The Remnant trust seeks to awaken in new generations of learners both an interest and competency in issues of individual liberty and human dignity by collaborating with institutions. The Remnant Trust places on loan a selection of works on the very subjects within which the students are engaged in the classroom, for a first time and perhaps a once in a lifetime experience exposure to originals sources.
The Remnant Trust invites institutions to prepare and submit a proposal that invites use, student participation, faculty involvement, classroom sharing and public access to the works. We will provide resources for creative use, research, debate, and scholarly papers regarding these works and ideas.
Internship opportunities offer an in-depth, hands-on experience.
Lectures and seminars provide a gate-way to
deeper understanding of the concepts and ideas behind
the works.
