GROVE CITY — Grove City College’s Henry Buhl Library is the repository for a massive collection of books produced under the auspices of Earhart Foundation, which has supported scholarly research and efforts to spread the gospel of faith and freedom for nine decades.

The 2,337-volume Earhart Collection covers many disciplines, including philosophy, ethics, history, politics and government and will fill an entire wall of shelves in the campus library, according to Barbra Munnell, director of Library Services.

All of the books were produced by authors and scholars supported by the foundation, which was established in 1929 by entrepreneur Harry Boyd Earhart to advance scholarships that reflected his belief in the free market and rugged individualism.

The foundation is closing in Ann Arbor, Mich., at the end of the year and was seeking a home for its literary collection.
