Location
Wolfson Conference Suite, Institute of Historical Research
Cultural institutions, not least universities, have depended for centuries on private benefactions. But the wealth from which these derive has frequently come from activity that is counter to modern social and ethical standards, and donors may have had dubious motives for their giving. In the light of the duty of these institutions to uphold the highest contemporary values, what is their duty to their benefactors? How, for example, should they acknowledge them? This conference will be of interest to all students of history and to those engaged in educational and cultural fundraising.
