CARE records, 1945-1985, bulk (ca. 1950-1980).

Records of CARE document the organization's early years as a temporary relief agency in post-World War II Europe, and the evolution of its scope into international development work. Materials include the files of CARE's executive staff, project files, administrative correspondence between CARE's headquarters and its overseas missions and regional field offices in the U.S. and Canada, reports, studies, press releases, and financial records. There is also documentation on the establishment of CARE International, MEDICO, which merged with CARE in 1962, and the Peace Corps, with which CARE worked closely from 1961 to 1967. Nearly all of these materials are from CARE's central offices in New York; there are relatively few files from its overseas missions and regional offices, except in the cases of a few missions or offices that have closed.
