Why is there a baseball in the vault???

No, it's not because a kid hit a ball through the archive's window!

Rather, there is a baseball in the vault because baseball's past is America's past and America's past is preserved in the vaults of archival repositories across this country. Everyone knows about the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY and its immense collections of artifacts and archival records, but other repositories also hold unique materials relating to our nation's collective baseball memory.

Baseball in the Vault aims to highlight the history of baseball through the lens of the priceless baseball photos, documents, recorded media and memorabilia that are preserved and made accessible in public archives and personal collections across the United States.
