These declassified documents are gleaned from various governmental entities such as the National Security Council, US Department of State, Federal Bureau of Investigation, executive agencies and presidential documents, the United Nations, and so forth. Through primary sources like these users can learn about historical events (such as the Cold War or Vietnam) and American policy, including strategy in the Middle East, foreign relations, and the environment, as well as domestic issues. Included are cabinet minutes, FBI surveillance memoranda, technical studies, White House briefings, policy statements, and official correspondence.
The collection—appropriate for all levels of study—will appeal to scholars in many fields of study, including political science, history, law, regional studies, environmental studies, business, social science, and journalism.
