Collection
Ford Foundation

The collection chiefly contains Fellow files from the Ford Foundation's Leadership Development Program. Records within the files document the entire lifespan of the LDP (1966-1977), but they also include a few materials collected about Fellows from before and after the program's existence. Fellow files are grouped according to which Regional LDP Office the represented Fellows had to report. The LDP maintained four regional offices. They included the Region-at-Large Office, the Northeast Region Office, the Southwest Region Office, and the Southeast Region Office. The collection also contains a group of Ford Foundation financial materials unrelated to the LDP. Access to the financial materials is restricted.

Collection
Ford Foundation

Collection contains different types of press materials from 1951 to 2002 that document the Ford Foundation's efforts to both publicize itself in the news and acquire documentation of media commentary on its ventures. Within the collection, press releases appear as the most used publicity tool for promoting the Foundation, while press clippings appear as the primary means for collecting media commentary on the Foundation's activities. Most of the press clippings found within the collection were submitted to the Foundation's Office of Communications by press clipping service providers Burrelle's Information Services and Luce Press Clippings in the 1990s and early 2000s.
