The Rockefeller Archive Center is a repository of historical materials and a research center dedicated to the study of philanthropy and the many domains touched by American foundations, individual donors, and the civil society organizations they support. It was established in 1974 initially to gather, preserve, and make accessible the records of the Rockefeller family and their far-reaching philanthropic endeavors, such as the Rockefeller Foundation, and Rockefeller Brothers Fund. The Archive Center today holds the archives of major foundations, cultural organizations, research institutions, and many individuals associated with these organizations.

Rockefeller, Nelson A. (Nelson Aldrich) (1908-1979)

The Public Relations Department papers document the general activities and public opinion of the Rockefeller family during the years 1946-1961. Nelson, Winthrop, Laurance, David, and JDR 3rd are mentioned most frequently throughout the collection. The collection is primarily made up of correspondence between Rockefeller brothers and various public relations employees, studies, administrative files, articles and clippings. A large amount of material relates to Nelson's foreign aid projects in Venezuela and Brazil, specifically the American International Association for Economic and Social Development (AIA) (Series 1) and the International Basic Economy Corporation (IBEC) (Series 2). Nelson's political campaigns are documented heavily as well (see Series 6, Politics, 1941-1960).
