Optical Character Recognition (OCR) has been performed on the images to enhance searching and accessing the texts. PRO is best viewed with a frames-capable browser.

PRO has been made possible by generous financial support from the IUPUI Research Investment Fund, ARNOVA: The Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action, the Ford Foundation, the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, and the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University.
