The S&WHF is dedicated to preserving the records of Smith & Wesson held by the Museum of Springfield History and elsewhere. The Foundation has funded the digitizing and indexing of the records for the years, 1931-1941. The year 1930 is being completed and plans are being made to start 1929.
The S&WHF needs your support in carrying on this important work that will ensure the records of S&W are preserved. In addition, for a fee, we will search our current digitized and indexed records to determine if documents exist for a specific S&W firearm, and provide a Foundation Letter with copies of the documents. To date, we have provided approximately sixty letters to collectors.
If you join the S&WHF at one of the levels shown above, the membership fee is tax deductible as the Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) designated organization.
