Fort Frederik Papers

Formal title:: Leopoldina Fortunati papers
Extent:: 2.75 linear feet
Date range:: 1964-2024 ((bulk 1980-1990))
Abstract:: This collection is composed of professional and some personal papers of Leopoldina Fortunati, an Italian scholar, feminist activist and professor of sociology of communication and sociology of cultural processes at the University of Udine. She was a member of the Marxist feminist group Lotta Femminista, and helped develop the International Wages for Housework campaign that demanded housework done by women to be paid. Her research focuses on gender, communication, new media, technology, sociology, feminist theory, capitalism and forms of repression and how it shapes modern culture. This collection shows part of Fortunati's work on feminist theory and capitalism, her research method and the discussions she has engaged with overtime. It includes articles she used for her research, draft writings that were not published, conferences she attended as a presenter, interviews given for newspapers, poems she has written in the earlier stages of her life and her feminist activism, and documents that show some exchanges she had with other women regarding their work in factories or the debates they would have during their meetings. Materials date from 1964 to 2024, but the bulk of materials are from 1980 - 1990.

Formal title:: Foster Parents Plan International, Volume I
Extent:: 393.5 linear feet
Date range:: 1939-1994
Abstract:: The records of Foster Parents Plan International span the years 1937 to 1982 and document the founding, early development, and international growth of the organization. Later records of PLAN, the bulk of which span the years 1980 to 1994, were removed from the organization's then international headquarters in Warwick, Rhode Island and deposited in the Special Collections Department in 1994. Those records were organized separately and are described in a separate finding aid. There is some overlap between the two groups of records. Researchers should consult the finding aids to both collections to insure that they have all of the material relating to a particular event or issue. These records consist of documents generated by or sent to PLAN headquarters by field officers, headquarters staff in the field, national organizations, government officials, consultants hired by PLAN and firms with which PLAN conducted business. Included are correspondence, memos, completed forms, operations manuals, agendas and minutes of meetings, reports, case histories, legal documents, and photographic prints and negatives.
