This material, mostly from 1913 to 1942, relates to funded 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 that was 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 that 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 to 1918). Additional items of interest are a progress report on nursing education (1928), an anthropological survey (1932 to 1933), and the files on international studies and international relations.
