The Rare Book and Manuscript Library of Columbia University is the repository for the records of four philanthropic organizations founded and endowed by the Scottish steel magnate Andrew Carnegie:

  • Carnegie Corporation of New York (CCNY)
  • Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (CEIP)
  • Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching (CFAT)
  • Carnegie Council on Ethics and International Affairs (CCEIA)

These collections deal primarily with Carnegie philanthropy and have very little personal material related to Andrew Carnegie. The Andrew Carnegie Personal Papers reside at the Library of Congress.
