The Atlantic Philanthropies Archives are housed at Cornell University, Atlantic founder Chuck Feeney\u2019s alma mater, in the Library\u2019s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections<\/a> (RMC). Comprised of the paper and digital records primarily from Atlantic\u2019s offices in New York, Ithaca, Bermuda, Dublin, Belfast, London, and Johannesburg, \u00a0the Archives are a rich resource for gaining insight into Atlantic’s work over three decades: decisions made, lessons learned, and the people impacted by Chuck Feeney\u2019s generosity.\u00a0 In the Archives, researchers can find the following types of records:<\/p>\n

Corporate records<\/strong> covering the foundation\u2019s grantmaking and operational strategies; decisions to emerge from anonymity and limit its lifespan in keeping\u00a0\u00a0 with Chuck Feeney\u2019s belief in Giving While Living; and steps taken to\u00a0 wind down the foundation\u2019s work.<\/p>\n
