The Vailima Foundation
The Vailima Foundation was established by Charlotte and Norman H. Strouse in 1968 to provide funds and leadership for a museum in the St. Helena area, into which their collection of Robert Louis Stevenson books, art, manuscripts and memorabilia could be placed as a permanent gift to the public.
Today, the Vailima Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization, does business as the Robert Louis Stevenson Museum.
Its Board of Trustees directs the affairs of the Museum and manages its collections which are held in public trust.
