National Security Archive (U.S.)
Repository description.
The records in the Archive's collection, all of which are unclassified or declassified, are obtained from a wide variety of sources, including government reports, donated records and oral histories, Congressional reports and testimony, official court records, the Presidential Libraries, and most notably documents released to the Archive under the Freedom of Information Act and the Mandatory Declassification Review process. The Archive's interests include many areas of recent and conemporary policymaking; the 1958-1962 Berlin Crisis, the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, and the 1983-1988 Iran-Contra affair are typical examples. Because of the importance of physical science in many national security issues, considerable material relaing to the history of physics is included. For example, the Archive has a significant collection of documents related to nuclear history, nuclear weapons, nuclear non-proliferation policy since 1955, and on debates relating to ballistic missiles.
An independent, non-governmental research institute and library located at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. The institute collects and publishes declassified documents acquired through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Publication royalties and foundation grants through the Fund for Peace underwrite the Archives operation.
