“All documentary work is local.”—Tom Rankin, director of the Center for Documentary Studies

The Center for Documentary Studies (CDS), located on the edge of the Duke University campus, is much more than a traditional educational center. Through diverse programming and active community engagement, CDS offers opportunities for participation by people of all ages, backgrounds, and levels of expertise. Open seven days a week, with exhibitions in its galleries and numerous courses and other activities year-round, CDS invites you to join the documentary community today.

The best way to get involved at the Center for Documentary Studies is to support the documentary arts. This is easy to do, by making a contribution through Friends of CDS.

Through their contributions, Friends of CDS help to support the Center for Documentary Studies, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization affiliated with Duke University.

Because the founders of the Center for Documentary Studies envisioned an organization that would bridge campus and community life, CDS was established as neither an academic department nor a traditional university educational center. Rather, CDS functions as an independent not-for-profit organization, with its own budget and fundraising goals.

As you consider your contribution to Friends of CDS, we would greatly appreciate your support at the highest level possible.
