History Gantt Collection
Gantt Collection mission:
The
Department of History at Towson University in collaboration with the
Towson University Archives has committed to bring to a larger learning

Hawkins Gantt. Gifted to Towson State University by Mr. Gantt in 1979,
these papers represent a small but significant part of a national
treasure that documents a high point in the history of United States
jurisprudence and the evolution of international law.

papers to ensure that they will survive for generations to come. As the
conservation and organization of the papers continues, we will publish

legal scholars and historians, teaching tools for university educators
and importantly, educational training for high school and middle school
teachers so that they may enhance their Social Science curriculum with
lesson plans on topics that include:
