National Baseball Hall of Fame

The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum preserves history, honors excellence and connects generations. An independent, not-for-profit educational institution dedicated to fostering an appreciation of the historical development of baseball and its impact on our culture, the Hall of Fame was established in Cooperstown, New York in 1939 as the definitive repository of The Game's treasures. Comprised of the Museum, with over 35,000 artifacts, and the Library and Archive, which houses more than 2.6 million documents, recordings, and photographs, the Hall of Fame exhibits and interprets its vast collections for a global audience. The Hall of Fame also bestows the highest individual honor awarded to players of our national pastime by marking their achievements with a plaque in the Hall of Fame Gallery. For more information on the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, please call 888-HALL-OF-FAME, or visit their website.
