Marsha Karpeles founded Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum in 1983 with the mission to share their love of history and learning, to inspire curiosity in others, and to promote education and literacy.
By sharing the writings of authors, scientists, composers, philosophers, artists, sovereigns, leaders, and pioneers from all periods in history with the world, David and Marsha envisioned exposing future generations to the achievements of those who came before them so as to instill a sense of purpose and the courage to pursue their own dreams and goals without fear of failure, but rather with hope, pride, and fulfillment.
In addition to co-founding Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum and raising four children, Marsha was also President of the Brandeis University National Women's Committee, Santa Barbara chapter; Board Member of University of California (Santa Barbara), History Affiliates; Board Member of United Cerebral Palsy; member of Santa Barbara County Grand Jury; Chairman of Santa Barbara Jewish Festival; Publisher and Creator of the Guide to the Jewish Community for Santa Barbara; Board member of the Santa Barbara Jewish Women's Federation; Board member of Elderhostel; Board member of SPAWN (Small Publishers and Writers Network); and President of PEO, a philanthropic educational organization. Marsha completed a Masters degree in Creative Writing in 2003.
She currently resides in Florida with her eldest son and CEO of Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum, Mark Karpeles.
