Personal Papers of Martin M. Rosen

  • WB IBRD/IDA ROSEN
  • Fonds
  • 1950 - 1987

This fonds consists principally of photographic prints that are housed in photo albums, an envelope, and a scrapbook. Photographs and textual records in this collection document various events that Martin Rosen attended during his tenure at the World Bank and IFC. Examples of those events are the signing of the IFC-FEMSA (Fomento Economico Mexicano, S.A.B. de C.V.) agreement in 1962 and Rosen's visit to West Pakistan and Korea in 1969.

Rosen, Martin M.

Photographs

This series contains photo albums that were gifts commemorating Rosen's visits to various countries and International Finance Corporation (IFC) financed project sites. The photographs are largely ceremonial: Rosen at the ceremony when a country joins the IFC; Rosen at an annual meeting; Rosen at a formal dinner; and Rosen touring factories and construction sites.

An envelope of loose photographs mostly contains black-and-white photographic prints, in various sizes, that were taken primarily in Korea and Japan. It also includes two lists for the photographs taken in Korea.

There is also a copy of Hosai Hyuga's Memoir, translated from Japanese and published in 1987. The frontispiece has a photograph of Mr. and Mrs. Simon Aldewereld with the author. Simon Aldewereld was another senior figure in Bank history.

Scrapbook

The scrapbook in this series was possibly a gift that was given to Rosen when he retired from the Bank in 1969. It contains photographs, as well as newspaper clippings, that cover Rosen's career at the World Bank and IFC.
