Blandin Foundation Oral History Project

Titles: Blandin Foundation Oral History Project (Supplied title)

Description: The interviews in the Blandin Foundation Oral History Project document the development of the Blandin Foundation, founded by Blandin Paper Company founder Charles K. Blandin. The foundation began with a focus on the Grand Rapids, Minnesota, area and grew over the years into a role supporting a variety of programs serving people throughout the state who live outside the Minneapolis-St.Paul metropolitan area. The project was conceived by foundation program officer Charles P. (Todd) Driscoll as a way to expand documentation of the Blandin Foundation's earliest days and its growth over the years.
