Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute

The work of the Roosevelt Institute represents a continuing dedication to the faith Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt so superbly embodied — faith in human freedom, in social purpose, in the inexhaustible strength of democracy, and in the abiding capacity of man to control the world he has created.

 

In cooperation with the Theodore Roosevelt Association and the provincial government of Zeeland, the province from which the Roosevelts emigrated to the New World in the 17th century, the Roosevelt Institute encourages the study of American history abroad through its support of the Roosevelt Study Center in Middelburg, which opened in September 1986 as a living memorial to Theodore, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt.
