The Eleanor Roosevelt Papers Project is a university-chartered research center associated with the Department of History of The George Washington University |
Eleanor Roosevelt Center at Val-KillThe Eleanor Roosevelt Center at Val-Kill (ERVK) is a nonprofit organization that grew out of efforts in the mid-1970s to preserve Eleanor Roosevelt's home at Val-Kill as a historic site. In 1977, President Carter signed a bill that allowed ERVK to partner with the National Park Service to use the Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site for educational programs tied to ER's legacy. Housed in Stone Cottage
on the Val-Kill property, ERVK introduces ER's life and
legacy through a variety of programs: a lecture series on
issues to which ER dedicated her life, the Girls Leadership
Workshop, community monitoring of welfare reform policy,
and other initiatives. ERVK also confers the Eleanor Roosevelt
Val-Kill medal on people whose commitment to social justice
reflects ER's courage and dedication. For more information on ERVK, visit the following web site: |
