BOX 1-6 Democracy Program, 1961-1984
The Democracy Program series documents the early development of the National Endowment for Democracy, primarily from 1982 to 1983. The Democracy Program, a study conducted by the American Political Foundation and funded by a grant from the Agency for International Development, recommended in a 1983 report to Congress the establishment of a bipartisan, private, nonprofit organization to promote democracy abroad through the distribution of grants. The records of the Democracy Program include articles, research materials, administrative files, executive board materials, correspondence, financial records, legislative materials, reports, and State Department documents. Materials related to the Agency for International Development and the American Political Foundation include correspondence, proposals, research material, reports, and forms and other grant materials. Chronological files are a mix of internal documents and correspondence with external stakeholders, such as international leaders, ambassadors, and politicians, and include letters, memoranda, notes, talking points, drafts of research plans and reports, administrative and financial material, and travel reports.
Material types include correspondence, memoranda, financial documents, printed matter, meeting minutes, proposals, reports, notes, and cables.
