Its rich archive spans the entirety of American finance and houses one of the nation\u2019s most important collections of 18th century US financial documents, including multiple letters and documents from Alexander Hamilton that established the basis for the US financial system.<\/p> \nThe Museum\u2019s events and educational initiatives\u2014offered for free in both virtual and in-person formats\u2014currently reach more than 10,000 students and adults annually.
