Does Foundation History Matter?
Alan Divack, who worked in information services and program management at the Foundation and now is a program officer with the Lucious N. Littauer Foundation, was the moderator of the discussion. Panelists were Jim Smith and Patricia Rosenfield of the Rockefeller Archive Center and Darren Walker, Ford Foundation president.
The discussion was described by one of the more than a score of participants as “lively and wide-ranging” on such topics as the usefulness of and gaps in foundation archives, donor intent and the usefulness of foundation history in formulating new programs.
