Roosevelt Study Center

Algemene informatie

As a research and conference center the RIAS explores the Roosevelt Legacy in Transatlantic Relations. The diverse and dynamic character of this legacy offers an inspiring way to understand the history and culture of the United States and its meaning for Europe.
The staff realizes this objective through their research programs, by sharing the results through academic and public channels, and by stimulating further inquiry. Extensive archives, a specialized library, research grants to visit the center, lectures and conferences, and a strong international academic network further advance this mission.
The RIAS is located in the twelfth-century Abbey of Middelburg, the Netherlands. It is named after three famous Americans whose ancestors emigrated in the seventeenth century from Zeeland to New York: President Theodore Roosevelt (1858 -1919), President Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882 -1945) and Eleanor Roosevelt (1884 - 1962).
The RIAS is subsidized by the Province of Zeeland and the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science.
