Revelations about twins are abundant, but the information often is inaccessible. Therefore, The Twins Foundation, a multifaceted, international, nonprofit agency has been formed. Through development of a Research Library, Museum and Hall of Fame, it will (1) provide archival and research support to the growing number of disciplines involved in twin studies; (2) provide a central repository and clearing house of information about twins for the general public; (3) enlist twin achievers to act as role models for adolescent twins; and (4) collect information about the contributions twins have made to their societies in order to dispel still prevalent negative stereotypes about multiples. (Note: The term “twin” is used generically and implies all multiples).
