{"value"=>"<p>This series reflects Oppenheim's lifelong contributions of cash and gifts to churches, libraries, museums, settlement houses and universities. The major beneficiaries are the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MMA), Smith College, and Yale University. The New York Public Library, Prints Division, to a lesser extent received art works. Smith College, Friends of Smith College Library, enjoyed a close relationship with Mrs. Oppenheim. Margaret S. Grierson, Executive Secretary of the Friends of Smith College Library, wrote in a letter dated August 10, 1944, that Smith College wants to \"collect all manner of material which records & reflects the interests and activities of women...\" Smith College solicited Oppenheim for her collection of suffrage material. Smith College succeeded. The other major recipient of Oppenheim's donations is Yale University. Yale University noted for establishing the <em>Jean Paul Oppenheim Collection of Contemporary American Prints</em> in 1934.</p>"}
