"American Philanthropic Support for Communication and Culture," a two-day workshop at the Rockefeller Archive Center, August 19-20, will bring together scholars from different backgrounds, perspectives, and interests, to focus on American foundational support for the Arts and Humanities in Canada, the United States, and Latin America. Scholars will present papers and discuss particular themes (such as mass media, museums/restoration, art/literature), based on previously unpublished work, with the understanding that the revised versions will be submitted for publication in a volume based on the workshop. The workshop will include a tour of the Rockefeller Archive Center.
