This archive from the Rockefeller Archive Center "documents the careers and activities of the three generations of the Rockefeller family." Here readers will find descriptions of primary sources related to the founder of the family fortune, John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937), his son, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. (1874-1960), and his grandchildren. Special finds include an organized listing of Nelson Rockefeller's Gubernatorial papers (1959-1974) and vice presidential papers (1974-1977), as well as a listing of Abby Aldrich Rockefeller's letters to her son, Winthrop Rockefeller, while he was serving in World War II. While the primary documents are, themselves, not available on the site, the glosses of the material can be educational in and of itself.
