Julius Rosenwald Fund records
Scope and Contents
The records of the Julius Rosenwald Fund consists of dockets of business and minutes of meetings held by the following bodies of the Fund: Executive Committee, Finance Committee, Board of Trustees and members. Also included are financial records, including audits and reports of the comptroller; annual reviews of activities of the Fund; documents related to the Fund's charter and by-laws; biennial reviews by Edwin C. Embree; and records of the Fund's fellowship program.
Although there are gaps in the records, primarily in the dockets of business and minutes, this collection documents to a large extent the business and activities of the Julius Rosenwald Fund during the period 1928-1948. Only one document predates 1928; it is a financial audit dated 1920.
