Summit Memory is funded by a grant from the Robert W. Little Foundation. Robert W. Little (1917
-2000) served as a librarian at the Akron-Summit County Public Library for nearly 30 years. Before coming to the
library, he worked at the B.F. Goodrich Company and attended the University of Akron where he received a degree in
history. A World War II veteran, Little enjoyed local history and collected many books, artifacts and documents
about Summit County. It is through his generosity that these historic items are made readily available to the
public.
