In September of 2000, the Rockefeller Archive Center and the Center for the Study of Philanthropy co-sponsored "Philanthropy and the City: An Historical Overview," a conference that had major funding from the Russell Sage Foundation and from David Rockefeller. Held at two venues, the Graduate Center of the City University of New York and the Rockefeller Archive Center, the conference explored the intersections of philanthropic and urban life across two centuries.
Invited speakers presented original papers that have to this point not been published elsewhere. They are presented here by permission of the authors and the cosponsoring institutions, who retain all rights and privileges of copyright. Papers may be downloaded or printed out solely for personal study.
