International - War Relief

Scope and content:

Material, mostly 1913-1942, relating to projects originated by international organizations or involving more than one country. Included in this designation are organizations directly connected with the Rockefeller Foundation, such as the International Health Division (which was a part of the Foundation governed separately until 1951); organizations indirectly related to the Foundation, such as the Spelman Fund of New York and the China Medical Board, Inc.; and other, independent organizations which received support from the Foundation. Much of the material concerns the work of the International Health Division. There is a large section on the war relief of the Foundation (1914-1918). Additional items of interest are a progress report on nursing education (1928), an anthropological survey (1932-1933), and the files on international studies and international relations.
