Public access to client records of the internal operations of the Oram Group are restricted for a period of forty (40) years from the records' date of creation. Mailings, brochures and other client and Oram Group records intended for public distribution, and all records more than forty (40) years old are open to the public without restriction. Researchers wanting to use restricted records must receive written permission from the chief executive officer of the Oram Group.
The Oram Group, Inc. is the present day incarnation of Harold L. Oram, Inc. founded in 1939 as a fund raising and public relations consulting firm specializing in liberal social causes. For more than fifty years the Oram Group's clients have addressed the most important social and political issues of the day, including human and civil rights, the environment, nuclear weapons, and refugee relief. In more recent years the organization has increasingly represented educational, health, arts, and community organizations.
The firm's founder, Harold Leon Oram, was born on December 2, 1907 in Butler, Pennsylvania to Austro-Hungarian immigrants, Samuel and Freda (Ginzler) Oram. Oram received his early education in Butler with the exception of one year at Staunton Military Academy. After graduation from Butler High School he spent two years at the University of Miami in Florida majoring in history and economics. In 1934 Oram earned a law degree from New York Law School although he appears never to have been a practicing lawyer. Instead he continued the journalistic career he had followed since 1930.
Oram's first venture into journalism was with a weekly paper, the Fort Worth Monitor, in partnership with Leopold Mamolen. When the newspaper failed he left Texas and went to work for papers in Hartsdale and Brooklyn, New York while he attended law school. In 1936 Oram began working with the North American Committee to Aid Spanish Democracy, an activist group committed to the Loyalist side in Spain's Civil War. When that organization split into two groups, Oram went with the liberal faction that included Ralph Bates, Varian Fry and Roger Baldwin, to form the Spanish Refugee Relief Campaign. Oram became the group's Director of Publicity and Fund-Raising and was responsible for obtaining the funds to aid in relocating Spanish Loyalists who fled Spain following Franco's victory.
In September of 1939, Oram founded a fund-raising firm called Consultants in Fund Raising. Shortly thereafter it became known as Harold L. Oram, Inc. The firm's early clients were devoted to aiding victims of social injustice. Among them was the Emergency Rescue Committee (forerunner of the International Rescue and Relief Committee), which helped anti-Nazi intellectuals and political leaders flee Europe following the fall of France. Another account, the National Sharecroppers Fund, sought to improve the status of tenant farmers and migrant workers throughout the United States. A third client from the early 1940s, the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, sponsored the legal assault upon segregation. The organization still maintained a relationship with the Oram Group through the 1980s.
Oram's first employees were women, Eileen Fry (wife of Varian Fry) and Anna Frank Loeb, who had also met Oram through his activities during the Spanish Civil War. Oram had sufficient confidence in their abilities to leave the operation of his fledgling firm in their hands while he served four years in the army during World War II. A third early employee, Eve Bates (wife of Ralph Bates) another friend from the days of the Spanish Refugee Campaign, became a part of the firm in 1941. Unlike the others who were full-time employees, Bates worked on a part-time basis, first as Oram's secretary then as an account executive.
When he returned from the army in 1946, Oram's business began to expand. As word of his ability to raise money spread, the client list grew. At first, most of the firm's clients were associated with efforts to recover from the effects of World War II and to combat the spread of Communism. They included such organizations as the American Association for the United Nations, the Citizens Committee for the Marshall Plan and the Iron Curtain Refugee Campaign. Gradually the list began to include causes concerned with environmental, educational and health issues. During the 1960s, Oram began raising money, through capital fund campaigns, for buildings and institutions as well as causes. Two of the earliest capital funds campaigns were designed for the Hampton Institute and Goodwill Industries of Greater New York.
During the 1950s and early 1960s, Oram was involved in a number of anti-Communist Asian causes. Among his clients during those years were the American Friends of Vietnam, Aid Refugee Chinese Intellectuals, Inc., the Committee of One Million Against the Admission of Red China to the United Nations, and the Dr. Tom Dooley Foundation. Oram also handled public relations in the United States for the Republic of South Vietnam during the late 1950s.
From a staff of three executives, two secretaries and a part-time college student in 1946, the firm grew to include The Oram Group, Inc. with offices in New York and Washington, D.C.; Oram Group Events; Oram Group Systems; Oram Group Marketing and Oram Group Executive Search by 1985. Each entity had its own separate function i.e., Oram Group Events handled fund-raising dinners, conferences, openings, etc. while Oram Marketing was responsible for all phases of direct mail campaigns. Over time the firm represented a number of diverse groups both national and international. Among its many clients were the Girl Scouts, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Museum of the American Indian, the National Urban League and Planned Parenthood-World Population.
In the course of his career Oram was responsible for a number of novel fund-raising techniques. He pioneered modern direct mail appeal methods, collecting and compiling lists of donors in the days before such lists were bought and sold wholesale. Once, when a suitable list was unavailable, he used Who's Who as a mailing list. Oram is reputed to be the first to take out full-page advertisements in prestigious newspapers, such as The New York Times, for their value as stuffers in direct mail appeals. Another early tactic he employed involved telegrams. Taking advantage of the sense of urgency a telegram conveyed, he first sent them to important and wealthy individuals inviting them to contribute funds to bring political refugees to safety. Later he sent telegrams as urgent invitations to attend convocations (another Oram innovation) combining information sessions and a fund-raising event for the Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists and other clients.
Henry Goldstein, a long-time member of the Oram firm, purchased the company in the late 1970s. Goldstein, a native of New York, entered the fund-raising field in the mid 1950s. His first fund-raising job was with the United Community Chest of Paterson, New Jersey. He came to Harold L. Oram, Inc. in 1964 through an ad in The New York Times. Shortly thereafter, Oram formed a subsidiary, Oram Associates, to handle capital campaigns. It was placed under the guidance of Goldstein and Sidney W. Green. When Green departed, the firm became Oram- Goldstein Associates. Soon there were other subsidiaries for various facets of the business. Finally, in the mid 1970s these groups were merged under their present title, The Oram Group, Inc. Even after the sale of his firm, Oram continued his association with the company, serving as Honorary Chairman, until his death in August 1990.
The Oram Group Collection was acquired in two principal acquisitions plus several small ones. The first large group of records, spanning the years 1939 to 1984, was donated by Harold L. Oram shortly before his death in 1990. The other large group, spanning the years 1940 to 1991, was acquired in 1992 from the Oram Group, Inc. office. The smaller acquisitions were given by an Oram family member and two former employees in 1992.
The collection consists primarily of client files from the fund-raising firm founded by Harold L. Oram in 1939. Early clients were primarily social activist groups representing liberal causes. However, over the years, the firm's focus expanded to include more mainstream nonprofit clients including hospitals, museums and educational institutions as well as environmental, political and civil rights groups.
Records acquired in 1990 have most of the collection's data regarding Oram's business and personal life. Included are his army records, both personal and business correspondence and some employee information. The 1990 records also contain the majority of the collection's information on several of his early clients, including Aid to Refugee Chinese Intellectuals, Inc., the American Research Hospital in Poland, the Citizens Committee for Displaced Persons, the Thomas A. Dooley Foundation, the Fund for Peace, the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, Planned Parenthood and the World Wildlife Fund. Generally, these records consist of appeal materials, background material, correspondence, press coverage, contracts and financial information. Also in this group are records of Oram's involvement in public broadcasting and various political campaigns.
Beginning in the 1960s the client files frequently include extensive studies evaluating the possibility of conducting a successful campaign. These detailed feasibility studies examined the client's background and operating procedures in minute detail. The information was gathered through interviews with board members, staff and prominent organization members. The completed study candidly analyzed the client's strengths and weaknesses, financial needs and potential fund-raising prospects, then made recommendations based on the findings. Studies range from about 30 pages to more than 100 pages with 75-80 pages being average.
The 1992 accession contains a large number of these feasibility studies for capital fund campaigns for the social service, medical and educational institutions that became clients as the firm expanded. This part of the collection contains extensive records for the Center for Study of Democratic Institutions, the International Rescue Committee, the Girl Scouts, Hampton Institute, Howard University, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Morehouse College, the NAACP/Legal Defense Fund, the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Neighborhood Legal Services Association, the New Orleans Chamber of Commerce,New School for Social Research, the Washington Hebrew Congregation and the West Point Jewish Chapel Fund. The 1992 acquisitions also include some records of the Oram Companies, primarily Board Meeting Minutes dating from 1978 to 1990. Attached is a complete list of clients whose files appear in the collection.
Contents of individual client files vary from a single study or letter to records filling several folders. Some client files are found in more then one acquisition, particularly those of clients who were with the firm for many years such as the International Rescue Committee or the NAACP/Legal Defense Fund. A large number of direct mail examples for various clients are scattered throughout the collection, however there is also a separate series consisting entirely of direct mail examples dating from about 1983 to 1991. Some client files contain items with the notation "Found in Book of Many Accounts" the materials so indicated were found in a separate binder bearing that title.
Files are arranged alphabetically according to client and chronologically within that designation. Records relating to the operation of the firm and direct mailings are organized under the headings, Oram Companies, Oram Group, Inc. and Direct Mailings respectively.
