Roosevelt Institute

The website is dedicated to "Carry forward the legacy and values of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt." Included in this topically wide-ranging repository is the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library, including Archives, Education, and Public Programs.

A history-rich section profiles the life and work of President Roosevelt, summarizing his polio experience and his championing of disability rights and rehabilitation in the United States. Highlighted are FDR and Basil O'Connor's important contributions to mobilizing financial support for vaccine discovery--and the historical creation of the National Foundation of Infantile Paralysis, to become known as the March of Dimes.
