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).

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.)

https://corescholar.libraries.wright.edu/special_ms1/


Four reels of film in the collection are digitized and files are available in the E-archives, along

with a description of the film content.

The photographs and papers are also available in a microfilm edition.

Existence and Location of Originals: Original glass plate negatives, from which prints by Wilbur and Orville Wright in this collection

were made, are located at the Library of Congress.

Original letters from Wilbur Wright to Octave Chanute and the Wright Brothers to and from

George A. Spratt in Subseries 1A: Aeronautical Correspondence of which this collection

contains photostat copies, are located at the Library of Congress.

Original patents, including the original patent for the 1903 Flying Machine, are at the National

Archives.

Separated Material: Books in the collection on topics broader than aviation, 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.

Related Material: In addition to the main Wright Brothers Collection, Special Collections and Archives has

numerous other collections which also relate to the Wright Brothers and their lives and work.

Also included on the site are an information packet of primary and secondary sources, a variety

of lesson plans, information about their patents, and both a bibliography of additional sources

and links to additional locations of materials to assist in your research. Papers from the 2001

symposium, Following in the Footsteps of the Wright Brothers: Their Sites and Stories, are

available online in CORE Scholar. Finally, you can also discover the history of our 1903 Wright

Flyer replica which hangs over the atrium in the Dunbar Library. If you have the chance to visit

us, you can also see two original Wright Brothers' propellers, which are located in our reading

room.

The University has become the repository for related collections, such as photographs from the

Dayton Wright Company, engine drawings from the Wright Aeronautical Corporation, and

numerous letters and photos from related families and friends. The Dayton Art Institute, owner

of the Wright Brothers collection of medals, deeded them to Wright State University in 1976 in

order to reunite them with the main collection. Through the generosity and encouragement of

Wright Family members and others, the collection has grown to be one of the most complete

collections of Wright Brothers material in the world.

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.

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 airplane. 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 kite 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.

Scope and Content Note: The Wright Brothers Collection housed in Special Collections and Archives in the Wright State

University Libraries is one of the most complete collections of Wright material in the world. It

includes the Wrights' own technical and personal library, family papers including letters, diaries,

financial records, genealogical files, and other documents detailing the lives and work of Wilbur

and Orville Wright and the Wright Family. It also includes awards, certificates, medals, albums,

recordings, and technical drawings. Perhaps the most valuable part of the collection are the

thousands of photographs documenting the invention of the airplane and the lives of the Wright

Family.

The online collection inventory is divided into seven sections for ease of use. Part I, Technical

Library, contains an extensive list of the books and published materials in the collection which

came from the Wright family's own technical and personal library. Part II, Manuscripts, includes

personal and family papers, financial records, diaries, genealogical files, letters, and other

documents. Part III, Photographs, is an item level listing of the thousands of photographs

contained in this collection. More than 2200 of these images are available for searchable viewing

in CORE Scholar, our Campus Online Repository. Part IV, Albums, includes a variety of

photograph albums which document the Wright family as well as the development of the

airplane. Part V, Phonograph Records and Film, contains several recordings and films. Part

VI, Awards and Certificates, documents the variety of these items presented to the Wright

Brothers. Part VII, Medals, describes each of the medals in the collection, some of which are

available for viewing in the Archives reading room.

Part 1: Technical Library, contains an extensive list of the books and published materials in the

5 4 United Brethren Church Reform Movement

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.

Keiter Affair, 1893-1911

These files contain materials pertaining to a scandal that developed over the management of

the United Brethren Publishing House in Dayton, Ohio, by the agent Millard F. 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 Outer Banks 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.

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.

1907 Flyer at Le Mans, France in 1908. Wilbur flew this

aircraft at Le Mans between August 8 and December 31,

Les Hunaudières race course and the artillery field at Camp

d'Auvours. The precise location and date of this flight is not

known.

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.
