Through its publications, and its annual meetings and other means, the Friends will provide a forum to exchange information and educate its members and the public about the art, craft, history, science and technology of papermaking, the book arts, and other diverse interests which captured the imagination of Dard Hunter (1883-1966). These forums and educational activities will also promote and encourage the continued and creative practice of hand papermaking, allied paper arts, the book arts, and other arts practiced by Dard Hunter. The study of paper and papermaking, preservation of historical sites and artifacts, conservation, scientific and technical research shall all be encouraged.

The Friends' activities are intended to serve as a bridge between artists, scientists, and the lay public in all of the above mentioned areas of concern, the collected artifacts, books, archives, and other materials, which were formerly called the Dard Hunter Paper Museum (here-after called "the Dard Hunter Collection"), form the core collection of the Robert C. Williams Paper Museum in Atlanta, Georgia. Promoting interest in the collection as an important part of the world's cultural heritage is central to the Friends' purpose.
