Alexander N. Charters
Alexander N. Charters (1916-2018) made significant contributions to adult and continuing education. The SCRC has been collecting materials related to adult education since 1949. This includes manuscripts, printed materials, and various media. Together, these resources are known as the Alexander N. Charters Library for Educators of Adults. Charters worked hard to grow this collection and support research in the field.
Each year, thanks to Charters’ vision, SCRC offers grants to individuals aiming to explore these adult education collections. The grant amount depends on the proposed research scope outlined in the application. This program helps advance understanding in adult education, making it a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners alike.
