Theodore Roosevelt Association Journal
1976
P. James Roosevelt and John A. Gable, President and Executive Director of the Theodore Roosevelt Association (TRA), provide a detailed accounting of the TRA’s outreach and education activities for 1976. Many of these initiatives are covered in more detail in individual articles in this issue of the Journal. The two longest sections of the report cover the expansion of the Theodore Roosevelt Collection, exhibits, and reading spaces at the Harvard University libraries and the project to restore the neighborhood surrounding the Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National Historic Site in New York City. The report also covers the annual student contests sponsored by the TRA, the research grants awarded by the American Museum of Natural History, and the publications, such as the Theodore Roosevelt Association Journal, produced by the TRA.
A listing of the officers of the TRA is included in the report.
A photograph of TRA President P. James Roosevelt with Trustee Dorothy Horton McGee at the Annual Meeting and another of two children admiring a bust of Theodore Roosevelt at the Roosevelt Birthplace accompany the report.
