Bequests
Recent generous legacies and donations from individuals, made without restrictions on use, have supported the Anthropology Library, the RAI Collection and the ethnographic film library; and have enabled the RAI to discharge its mortgage and gain full title to its premises, so freeing up resources for core activities and services. Bequests have also provided capital for Trust Funds which support the RAI’s research awards.
