This collection holds the office files of Ford Foundation executive staff member Maya Harris. However, the records in the collection were not actually created by Harris. They all originate from the Office of Ford Foundation Peace and Social Justice Program Vice President Bradford K. Smith. Inventory information provided by Ford to the RAC described the materials as historical documents, suggesting that Harris had inherited Smith's files and that her Office absorbed those documents into its own records. Harris served as Vice President for Ford's Democracy, Rights, and Justice Program between 2008 and 2013. This program likely succeeded the Peace and Social Justice Program that Smith served. Future accessions may expand the collection so that it includes documents produced by Harris' Office.

Consists primarily of program files, office files, and staff subject files.

The collection documents Alice Volkman's oversight of grants to support teaching, scholarship and publications in the field of international and area studies.

The records relating to the Crossing Borders initiative, launched in 1997 under Volkman's leadership, and files from the Foundation's African Studies initiative might be of particular interest to researchers. The files were transferred to the Ford Foundation Archives in September 2005. The arrangement of the collection follows the original order established by Volkman, though a few unfoldered and stray items have been interfiled by the processing archivist. A significant number of duplicate reports and memos were removed and discarded.
