In 1924 James B. Duke, the tobacco and hydroelectric power magnate, established the Duke Endowment as a permanent trust fund with designated beneficiaries. Davidson College, Duke University, Furman University, and Johnson C. Smith University are among the recipients of this generous benefactor.
In 2001 the directors, librarians, and staff of TDEL--The Duke Endowment Libraries--have been meeting to discuss issues of mutual concern and opportunities for collaboration. The TDEL meetings thus far have resulted in a reciprocal borrowing agreement between the libraries and a joint library disaster response workshop.
