Near East Foundation records, Accession 2010:002, RG 2, 1915-2005 16.34 Cubic Feet
This record group primarily consists of dockets, minutes and reports of Near East Relief (NER) and the Near East Foundation (NEF). Materials pertaining to Near East Relief date from 1915 to roughly 1932, while materials pertaining to the Near East Foundation date from roughly 1932 to 2005. A majority of the materials were generated by and for New York-based personnel, and document executive-level decision making. However, information on day-to-day foreign operations can be found in the dockets, which include reports that reference foundation-operated orphanages and schools. Those interested in visual sources can look to the issues of the "New Near East" newletter, 1922 to 1924, and the "Bulletin of the Near East Society", 1952-1955.
