Acquisition: The Wright Brothers Collection was deeded to Wright State University on December 19, 1975, by the Wright Family, including Ivonette Wright Miller, Leontine Wright Jameson, Horace A. Wright, Milton Wright, Jr., and Wilkinson Wright.

Since the original donation in 1975, there have been numerous additions of material to the collection from Wright family members and other individuals. Ivonette Wright Miller, niece of the Wright Brothers, donated her substantial collection of Wright Family materials handed down to her through her father Lorin Wright. Marianne Miller Hudec, Ivonette's daughter, continued to enrich the collection through additional photographs, albums, books, and personal papers of the family. Marion Wright and her late husband, Wilkinson Wright, grand nephew of the Wright Brothers, added many valuable books, photographs and documents to the collection, such as Orville Wright's estate files. A collection of letters from Katharine Wright to her friend Agnes Beck were donated by Margaret Rehling, Agnes Beck's daughter. Most recently, additions have been received from Kate Hudec (Marianne Miller Hudec’s daughter) and from Stephen Wright and Amanda Wright Lane (children of Wilkinson Wright).

MS-1: Wright Brothers Collection, Special Collections & Archives, Wright State University Libraries 12 Accruals: Additions are possible.

Custodial History: When Orville Wright passed away on Jan. 30, 1948, his will stated that the executors should select which institution or institutions they deemed appropriate to receive the papers of Wilbur and Orville Wright. The Library of Congress was chosen to receive a major portion of the collection. They examined the material, selecting approximately 100 printed items to supplement their own holdings in aeronautics, 303 glass plate negatives of photographs documenting the Brothers' aeronautical achievements, and correspondence between the Wrights and Octave Chanute, as well as other individuals involved in aeronautics at that time. The Library of Congress also selected additional photographs documenting the Wrights' family life and correspondence between family members.

The remaining books, journals, and pamphlets accumulated by the Wright Brothers remained with their estate. Thousands of positive prints, many made directly from the glass plates selected by the Library of Congress, along with other prints sent to the Wrights by other photographers, remained in Dayton, along with numerous albums, certificates and awards. The collection also included the papers of their father, Bishop Milton Wright, consisting of his diaries, correspondence, essays, church papers, and genealogical files. Also still in the estate were the financial records of the Wrights and a variety of family papers documenting the activities of Wright family members. After the removal of the materials to the Library of Congress, the four children of Lorin Wright, brother to Wilbur and Orville Wright, each made a token payment of $100 to purchase equal shares, settling the estate. Thus Milton Wright, Horace Wright, Ivonette Wright Miller, and Leontine Wright Jameson inherited the remaining Wright papers, as well as other property, such as the Wright mansion, Hawthorn Hill, in the Dayton suburb of Oakwood. The papers came into the possession of Ivonette Wright Miller, who served as semi-official Wright family historian, and whose husband, Harold S. Miller, was a co-executor of the estate.

The Millers, as well as the other Wright heirs, desired that the papers remain in the Dayton area in a repository conducive to research and exhibition. When Wright State University expressed interest in acquiring the papers, the family responded positively. On May 2, 1974, a preliminary deposit agreement between the heirs and the University was executed. The collection was loaned to the University and an appraisal was requested. On Dec. 19, 1975, a final deed of gift was signed by Ivonette Wright Miller, Leontine Wright Jameson, Horace A. Wright, Milton Wright, Jr., and Wilkinson Wright, making the Department of Special Collections and Archives in the Wright State University Libraries the permanent repository for the remainder of the papers from the Wright Family.

Existence and Location of Copies: Numerous items in the collection are digitized and available on CORE SCHOLAR at https://corescholar.libraries.wright.edu/special_ms1/. (Particular materials available online in CORE Scholar are linked individually throughout this finding aid as well.)

Separated Material: Books in the collection on topics broader than , were separated to the Archives-Wright Brothers Room and are cataloged in the Wright State University Libraries catalog. In the catalog, search on the terms “private library of Orville Wright” for the records. Many of the books came through Wright Library in Oakwood, Ohio and as such, are marked with their stamp. Prior to being given to Wright Library, those books had been at Hawthorn Hill, Orville Wright's last home. Mary Ann Miller Hudec, a grandniece of the Wright Brothers, also donated several books that had been handed down in the family.

Other Finding Aid: The finding aid is available on the Special Collections & Archives, Wright State University Libraries web site at https://www.libraries.wright.edu/special/collectionguides/files/ms1.pdf. It is also available in the OhioLINK Finding Aid Repository at http://ead.ohiolink.edu/xtf-ead/.

The initial collection was described in The Wright Brothers Collection: A Guide to the Technical, Business and Legal, Genealogical, Photographic, and Other Archives at Wright State University, published in 1977. Since that time, numerous additions to the collection and donations of related collections have necessitated the revision and updating of the original collection inventory. A bound inventory to the collection was published in 2003, the centennial year of the Wrights' first successful, controlled powered flight, which offered a detailed and more complete guide to the papers of the Wright Family housed at Wright State University. Additional materials were added to the collection since 2003, however, so the collection inventory available online is the most current and up-do-date inventory to this extensive collection.

General Notes: Wright State University, named for Wilbur and Orville Wright, is a dynamic memorial to the achievements of the Wright Brothers. Founded in 1964 as the Dayton campus of Miami University and The Ohio State University, Wright State University became a state university in 1967. It was built on land deeded in part by Wright Patterson Air Force Base and lies within a mile of Huffman Prairie, the site of Simms Station where Orville and Wilbur perfected their flying machines in 1904 and 1905. The memorial to them on Wright Brothers Hill is adjacent to campus, and the United States Air Force Museum is nearby. Today, the Wright Brothers Collection and related Wright Family collections at Wright State University rank as one of the most complete and essential collections for the study of the Wright Brothers, the invention of flight, and the history of the Wright Family.

Processed by: Patrick B. Nolan, then Head of the Special Collections and Archives Department, and John A. Zamonski, Assistant Professor of English at Central State University, organized and described the collection in 1977.

Revisions: Finding aid revised to include processed additions, 2003. Finding aid revised according to DACS standards by Lisa Rickey, 2019.

Arrangement: The collection is arranged in 7 parts: Part 1: Technical Library, 1816-1948 Part 2: Manuscripts, 1779-1985 Part 3: Photographs, 1855-1949 Part 4: Albums, 1880-1940 Part 5: Phonograph Records and Film, 1928-1948 Part 6: Awards and Certificates, 1909-1947 Part 7: Medals, 1908-1977

Biographical/Historical Note:

Wilbur Wright, born April 16, 1867, in Indiana, and his brother, Orville, born Aug. 19, 1871, in Dayton, Ohio were inventors of the . The brothers were in the printing and bicycle business in Dayton before they became interested in solving the problems of powered flight. After a series of and glider experiments at Kitty Hawk, N.C., the brothers built and successfully flew the first heavier-than-air powered machine on Dec. 17, 1903. The Wrights spent the next years improving their invention and in 1909, formed a company to manufacture their airplanes. After Wilbur's death on May 30, 1912, Orville retired from the business. He remained in Dayton, doing research and consulting until his death on Jan. 30, 1948.

5 4 United Brethren Church Reform Movement 1881-1896 Writings

These pamphlets deal with the United Brethren in Christ controversy of 1889-1896. Schism developed from a prohibition of membership in secret societies; the policy had long been a feature of the church. A liberal reform element sought to modify this ban. A conservative, or Radical, element, led by Milton Wright, fought the attempted changes. Court cases over which faction owned church property aggravated the quarrel, which eventually split the church. Courts held the “Liberals” to be the true church and ruled that the “Radicals” had seceded and organized a new society. Wilbur Wright authored two pamphlets supporting his father’s views. 5 4 1 Milton Wright, The Reform Leaflet, Secret 1881 Oct Societies, Volume 1, Number 1, Richmond, Indiana 5 4 2 Milton Wright, The Reform Leaflet, Volume 1, 1882 Apr Number 3, Richmond, Indiana 5 4 3 Milton Wright, The Reform Leaflet, Volume 1, 1882 July Number 4, Richmond, Indiana, 5 4 4 Wilbur Wright, Scenes in the Church Commission 1888

Keiter. In 1895, certain church leaders, including Milton Wright, began to suspect that the books were not properly kept. Audits uncovered large discrepancies and Keiter was forced out of office. This affair cuased a great divide in the Church between those members who supported Milton Wright in his unwavering attempt to prove that Keiter embezzled funds and those who supported Keiter.

Subseries 2L: Genealogical Writings and Correspondence, 1791-1973

Milton Wright was an avid genealogist. His passion started when he was a young man and continued until his death. Milton wrote to family members throughout the United States and Germany seeking information on the Wright and Koerner families. Orville continued the search after Milton’s death in 1917. Most of the letters in this subseries are those received by Milton and Orville. On a few occasions, there are copies of letters sent by Orville in reply or by his secretary, Mabel Beck. At the end of many of the files are undated materials in Milton’s handwriting. These materials include essays, notes, and family trees.

The letters are not strictly genealogical. The correspondent would also include news on daily activities, health, school, war, religion, and temperance. Of particular note are the many letters of condolence to Milton upon the death of Wilbur Wright of typhoid in 1912. Some letters praise Wilbur and Orville for their accomplishments in the development of flight. Milton Wright also wrote several essays about his family and his life. These are included at the beginning of this subseries.

PART 3: PHOTOGRAPHS, 1855-1949

This series includes many original photographic prints made by the Wrights from their own negatives shortly after the images were taken. The Wrights exposed at least 303 gelatin dry plate negatives in the course of documenting their process of invention. All of their glass plate negatives were given to the Library of Congress in 1949, but many of their original prints remained with the Estate of Orville Wright. Many of the Wright Brothers’ original negatives were damaged in Dayton’s great flood of 1913, when they were submerged for up to four days. The Wright State University collection includes some images for which no negatives exist at the Library of Congress and so many of these prints are unique. In addition, this collection includes hundreds of prints collected by the Wrights through their association with other aviation pioneers such as Octave Chanute, and a great variety of aeronautical prints either collected by them, or sent to them by well-wishers through the years. While the major prints exist in both collections, both the Wright State University collection and the Wright collection in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress contain many images that are unique to each collection.

Wilbur and Orville Wright began photographing their experiences on the using a 4 x 5 inch dry plate camera. In 1902 they purchased a Korona view camera which used 5 x 7 inch dry plates. They developed their negatives and made prints in the darkroom they set up at their home in Dayton. The sizes of the early prints tend to follow the original negative size suggesting that they were created as contact prints.

The fact that the Wrights’ glass negatives were damaged in 1913 provides a means to attribute a date range for those prints showing activities at Kitty Hawk and Huffman Prairie between 1900 and 1905. In this listing, prints made from the Wright negatives before the 1913 flood, which show no damage, are described as early. Those older prints showing the extensive post flood emulsion damage characteristic of the negatives in their present condition, are described as later. There are also a number of much later copy prints made on photographic papers in use between the 1930’s and the 1970’s. These are generally described as recent or modern.

The Wright Brothers personal photographic record of their process of invention, and the great achievement represented by their early Flyers, is contained here in boxes 15 and 16. The images in boxes 17 through 31 are, with exceptions, those that were collected (rather than made) by Wright Family members over the courses of their lives.

This collection is a premier resource for archival images of the pioneering years of flight.

4 Octave Chanute sent at least 63 photographs taken at Kill Devil Hills in 1902 to the Wrights. The first 26 images are numbered and titled verso by Chanute. These images are generally poor in quality due to poor print processing, image framing, and double exposure. The original negatives and Chanute’s set of these prints are held by the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division.

SERIES 5: LE MANS, FRANCE: 1908, 1918

Box 17, File 2: Wilbur Wright at Le Mans, France, 1908.

Wilbur Wright traveled to Le Mans, France, in May 1908. He spent June and July assembling a 1907 model Wright Flyer which had been shipped to France the previous year. This Flyer was based on the design of the modified 1905 Wright Flyer and was equipped with two seats and a stick to control wing warping, instead of the old hip cradle. This design subsequently became known as the Wright Model A.

Wilbur was offered space to work in the automobile factory of Léon Bollée. On August 8, 1908 he made his first European flight consisting of two rounds over the Hunaudières race course south of Le Mans. Seeking a larger, and less obstructed flying field, Wilbur moved his demonstrations to Camp d’Auvours, an artillery range east of Le Mans. His demonstration flights, which set many world records, continued at Camp d’Auvours until December 31, 1908.

Unless otherwise noted all prints are early 5 x 7 inch photographs. (View photos from Box 17, File 2, online in CORE Scholar.)

SERIES 9: GERMANY: 1909

Box 18, File 7: Orville and Katharine Wright in Germany, 1909

Orville and Katharine Wright arrived in Berlin on August 19, 1909. Orville had come to fulfill a contract signed at Pau with the August Scherl Company, newspaper publishers, for public exhibition flights in Berlin, and with the Flugmaschine Wright Gesellschaft, or German Wright Flying Machine Company, for demonstration and training flights for student pilot Captain Paul Englehard. Orville flew exhibition flights at Tempelhof Field in Berlin between August 30 and September 18. He flew demonstration and training flights at Bornstedt Field near Potsdam between September 29 and October 15.

All of the prints collected by Orville and Katharine relating to Germany are original, and nearly all of them are annotated or identified by Orville Wright in his hand on the verso. The majority of the prints, except for the postcards and images taken by Marie Mertens, are 5 x 7 inch in size and were taken by photographers for the August Scherl Company.

SERIES 11: HUFFMAN PRAIRIE (SIMMS STATION): 1910-1913

Box 19, File 3: Simms Station - Huffman Prairie, Dayton, 1910, 1913

While at Simms Station in 1910, the Wright Brothers flew the Wright Model A Flyer (Wright 1907 machine) from May 10 to May 20. From May 21 to October 14, they flew the Wright Model B Flyer. The transition from the Wright Model A Flyer (1907-type machine) was gradual. Orville and Wilbur Wright both experimented with placement of the horizontal control surfaces in 1909. In 1910 they applied a fixed horizontal stabilizer to the tail of the Model A. It was then made moveable, working in conjunction with the front horizontal rudder. Later, the front horizontal rudder was removed and wheels attached to the skids. Eventually the front ends of the skids were flattened and shortened, thus creating the Wright Model B Flyer.
