Wright Brothers Scrapbooks

This is the first scrapbook of the Wright Brothers Collection available in Local History Room. The collection came to the library on Dec. 30, 1948, less than a year after the death of Orville Wright. One of his executors, Harold S. Miller, husband of Ivonette Wright Miller (niece of Wilbur and Orville Wright), selected the Dayton and Montgomery County Public Library as one of the repositories since the Millers, and other Wright heirs, wanted the papers to remain in the Dayton area.
