Collection
Rockefeller, Blanchette Hooker

The papers of Blanchette Ferry Hooker Rockefeller (1909-1992), which span the years 1884-1994, document the various roles Mrs. John D. Rockefeller 3rd played in her lifetime, including that of daughter, wife, mother, daughter-in-law, aunt, friend, philanthropist, art collector, and political fundraiser. The papers contain her personal and family correspondence, photographs, and memorabilia as well as the records generated by her philanthropic activities. They provide information on her ancestors; education; relationships with family members, friends, and associates; travels; and on her social concerns and benevolences. While the bulk of the papers deals with Mrs. Rockefeller's lifetime, some items relating to her forebears predate her birth. Due to shared interests and activities in many areas, Mrs. Rockefeller's papers parallel and complement the papers of her husband, John D. Rockefeller 3rd, which are also housed at the Rockefeller Archive Center and which are open to researchers.

Collection
Council on Foundations

The records of the Council on Foundations, Inc., which span the years 1949 to 1981, cover the years from the formation of the Council until Landrum R. Bolling's tenure as chief executive officer in the late 1970s. The bulk of the material in this collection, however, concerns the Council's response to tax reform efforts in the late 1960s and early 1970s that would have profound effects on foundations. Also documented is the Council's relationship with the Commission on Private Philanthropy and Public Needs (usually referred to as the Filer Commission), a privately funded panel formed in late 1973 to conduct a study of the source, scope, and impact of charitable giving in the United States.
