Stravinsky-Diaghilev Foundation was established in New York in the late 1950s by the dance scholar and writer Parmenia Migel Ekstrom. Although she started her career as a writer under her maiden name, Parmenia Migel, in her subsequent career as a dance scholar and collector, she used her married name, Mrs. Parmenia Ekstrom, abbreviated PME in this finding aid. The foundation remained in operation until the passing of Parmenia Migel Ekstrom in 1989.

The foundation collected material related to careers of Igor Stravinsky and Serge Diaghilev, organized exhibitions on dance, promoted dance research, and supported a great number of writers, researchers and students of dance by providing reference information and giving them access to the collection.
