ROHA's Donor Honor Roll
In 1994, the Rutgers Class of 1942 established the Rutgers Oral History Archives with an initial gift of $100,000 with the goal of documenting their generation, which was in danger of disappearing from historical memory.
Since then, the scope of the program has expanded dramatically, thanks to the generosity of donors who wished to extend ROHA's mission to new populations and later generations. All of our donors have shared in the vision of a future in which students, teachers, researchers and scholars will use ROHA's oral histories for generations to come.
The generosity of ROHA's supporters has resulted in the creation of an endowment that provides one-third of ROHA's annual operating budget. The other two-thirds of the operating budget are raised over the course of the year through individual donations, class gifts and support from corporations and foundations. Through ROHA's Donor Honor Roll, we honor those who make this scholarly endeavor possible year after year.
Please Note: The online version of the ROHA Donor Honor Roll will be updated monthly. Print editions will be made available at the RLHS Annual Meeting and in the Winter edition of the RLHS newsletter, History Alive.
