http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/436206136

Although the collection documents a number of the Center's activities, the bulk of the material relates to its training and capacity building programs. The Human Rights Advocacy Program (HRAP) and the Religion, Human Rights, and Religious Freedom Program (Pew Program) are most thoroughly represented, but smaller amounts of material exist for the Belldegrun Fellowship, the Human Rights Colloquium (HRC), and others. Correspondence, project goal descriptions, admission criteria, schedules, evaluations, and reports show how these programs operated and changed. The collection also contains administrative documents such as meeting minutes and annual reports; brochures and notes from workshops and conferences; general information on other NGOs; and materials such as course lists, course descriptions, syllabi, and long-term plans that demonstrate the Center's role in human rights instruction at Columbia.
