Series: IV: Ford Foundation

4 linear feet

Series IV: "Ford Foundation" houses files related to the Ford Foundation's International Affairs Program. These files include a Ford Foundation oral history project, annual reports, correspondence, Ford Foundation directives and terms of reference, and policy, program, and operational directives for the 1960s. Slater's office files from his time at the foundation are also included in this series, as are papers delivered at The King Baudouin Foundation conference on the Ford Foundation. Ford Foundation directives and terms of reference, and policy, program, and operational directives for the 1960s were all originally bound, but have been removed from their bindings due to rust. The labels for this material are identical to the titles of the bound manuscripts.
