The Leon and Thea Koerner Foundation was established in 1955 with a one million dollar endowment to fund projects in culture and creative activities, health and welfare and higher education. The series consists of correspondence, working papers and printed matter and falls into two sections. Boxes 179 and 180 contain files from 1962 to 1968. There are also many personal letters between Leon Koerner and MacKenzie in this section. The correspondence is arranged alphabetically by year, and the working papers are in chronological order. The second section of the series (box 181) covers 1965-1978 and contains correspondence and working papers. This material was found amongst the unorganized boxes of paper deposited by MacKenzie. It has therefore been maintained separately. In this section, the material is separated by year, and within each year, the correspondence is organized alphabetically and the working papers chronologically.
