Dwight Barstow was an antiques dealer, avid collector and archivist and we have him to thank for the preservation of many early Baha'i periodicals.
He learned of the Baha'i Faith from Willard Hatch. He never married and left no heirs. Dwight became a Bahá'í and moved to the Los Angeles area in the late 40's. He began to collect old Bahá'í periodicals and that grew into an operation he called the Bahá'í Periodical Exchange (BPE). Through the BPE, he helped dozens of folks and communities complete their periodical collections. Once a collection was completed, he endorsed having them professionally bound.
Dwight is well-remembered by local collectors and archivists, and his library continues to serve the Baha'i Community of Los Angeles.
