Material consists primarily of correspondence; accounts, reports, press releases, clippings, guest lists, menus, seating plans, and minutes are also included. Foundation correspondence includes the Dana Foundation, Ford Foundation, Fromm Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, and Rockefeller Brothers Fund.
