Collection contains the office files of Ford Foundation program executive Enid C.B. (Curtis Bok) Schoettle. From 1976 to 1993, Schoettle occupied a number of positions in the Foundation's International Affairs Program (IAP), a unit that was once organized under the Foundation's United States and International Affairs Program (USIAP). Schoettle served as Program Officer, Program Officer in Charge, and Director of IAP. Her work primarily focused on managing grants for international security and arms control research and initiatives.

This collection holds the papers of Peter F. Geithner who served as Regional Director of Asia Programs for the Ford Foundation between 1990 and 1996. It contains both professional and personal material, and although it chiefly consists of records created during the course of Geithner's long career in philanthropy, it was maintained by Geithner as an individual person and stored at his home in Orleans, Massachusetts. See the Other Finding Aids note to locate Ford Foundation records created by Geithner during his time as Regional Director of Asia Programs.
