The records of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund Special Studies Project document the administrative and intellectual history of the project. The Special Studies Project collection constitutes a rich, but by no means comprehensive, source for the intellectual history of American domestic and foreign policy from 1945 to approximately 1960. Papers and criticisms of papers were contributed to the Project by leading academic and government authorities. Although an examination of these materials will not normally show the development over time of a writer's ideas, some files include a writer's older pieces. The papers prepared for the Special Studies Project are invariably thorough expositions of the contributor's views in the late 1950s.
The records of the West Africa Program include correspondence from the New York and Lagos offices, memoranda, reports, administrative and financial materials, personnel correspondence, and a complete set of feasibility studies contracted by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. The bulk of this material dates between 1957 and 1963, the period during which the Lagos office was in full operation.
