Spieseke/Hatchett Art Library Endowed Fund for Collections
Purpose of the Endowment For programs, collections, preservation, projects, facilities and services provided by the Art Library. Library materials purchased may include books, sets of collected works, facsimiles of manuscripts, CDs, electronic resources and other information formats.
Two friends' lifelong love of learning, books and libraries was the impetus behind this legacy given to the UW Libraries. Alice Winifred "Winnie" Spieseke was a Seattle native and graduate of the University of Washington. Winnie met Elizabeth Hatchett, of Kentucky, at Columbia University where Elizabeth was earning her master's degree. They became inseparable friends, spending the next 40 years exploring NYC before retiring to Seattle in 1975. Winnie and Elizabeth named the University Libraries the beneficiary of a Certificate of Deposit, creating the Spieseke/Hatchett Art Library Endowed Fund.
