Collection
Rockefeller Foundation

This collection contains materials related to the group Collaboratives for Humanities and Arts Teaching (CHART), a project of the Rockefeller Foundation that operated from 1983-1994. While a few documents come from as early as 1983 or as late as 1994, the bulk of the materials date between 1987 and 1993. Series 1 includes substantial correspondence from CHART director Judith Renyi to the Rockefeller Foundation, CHART site directors, and many others, as well as some additional planning materials. Major Rockefeller Foundation correspondents include Alberta Arthurs and Hugh B. Price. Series 2 contains details about potential CHART sites, the CHARTnet telecommunications network between teachers, the Africa in the U.S. Classroom project, and other reports on national education issues. This series also contains considerable information about the creation and publication of the CHART book, Fire in the Eyes of Youth, a copy of which text is in the public relations materials in box 21. Series 3 includes materials such as agendas, handouts, and transcripts from various conferences which CHART members either attended or helped to organize. Finally, series 4 houses many of CHART's public relations materials, including newspaper clippings and other media as well as formal information kits. Substantial content throughout the collection also relates to individual projects sponsored by CHART, such as Humanitas and PATHS. Overall, major topics covered include the humanities, the arts, multicultural and international education, school reform and restructuring, and the funding for such reforms.

Commonwealth Fund

The Commonwealth Fund office used these files as a cross reference system for the grants. The files concentrate from the 1950s to 1981. The folders consist of cross reference sheets and correspondence. There are some reports and photographs. Original boxes 317, 325, 326, 332, 333, 341, and 342 were not sent to the Archives; consequently files from D, E, P, and W are missing. Folders for The Johns Hopkins University and Massachusetts General Hospital are also missing.

Collection
Commonwealth Fund

Fellowships are an integral part of the Commonwealth Fund's history, and continually supported the varied public health, mental hygiene, and rural hospital programs of the CF. The advanced medical fellowships were first awarded in 1937, and although they primarily aided medical school teachers and research workers, individuals in other areas of health work also received financial assistance. About twenty fellowships per year were granted during 1950-1959, many of which entailed interdisciplinary studies, and by 1965 well over sixty fellowships were awarded yearly.
