"Morris Library’s Special Collections Research Center has Fuller’s personal
library of more than 3,000 volumes; part of a recent donation of artifacts and
furniture to the R. Buckminster Fuller Dome Not-For-Profit. The organization
recently acquired Fuller’s personal library and original house furnishings from
his estate, with the goal of reinstalling the furnishings and library as it was
in the 1960s to the dome home at 407 S. Forest St. in Carbondale, where Fuller
and his wife, Anne, lived, from 1960 to 1971.

As part of a memorandum of understanding with the not-for-profit organization,
some volumes will go to Fuller’s home with the remaining volumes to Morris
Library, said Matthew Gorzalski, university archivist. The volumes provide a
further glimpse into Fuller’s life."
