During Miss Barton's long lifetime of service, she was honored by powerful leaders of world nations, lone survivors of American disasters, the rich and the poor. The world's admiration of Clara Barton is strikingly evident in the collection of medals and jewels that are preserved as part of the Clara Barton collection at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. The medals collection consists of 35 containers and is represented here in cooperation with the Library of Congress and with grateful appreciation to Barbara Bair, Historian, Manuscript Division and Bruce Douglas, Photographer, Clara Barton National Historic Site, Volunteer in Parks Program.
