An excellent resource for the Cold War! Clearly labelled and well-maintained links to primary source documents. Just what we like!

There isn't a whole lot of valuable source material at this site that I could find, but it has a large amount of links to other sites which would be useful for research or activities in the Cold War.

Will contain some interesting documents relating to events in American history during the 20th and 21st centuries. Definitely one for the conspiracy nuts.

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) electronic reading room of the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) offers several primary source collections for the study of Central and Eastern Europe during and after the Cold War period. The FOIA Electronic Reading Room web site was established by the CIA "to provide the public with an overview of access to CIA information, including electronic access to previously released documents." Direct web access to the following collections is now possible: # The Soviet and Warsaw Pact Military Journals is a PDF collection of "sensitive Soviet and Warsaw Pact military journals from 1961 to 1984 providing a view into Warsaw Pact military strategy". # Preparing for Martial Law: Through the Eyes of Colonel Ryszard Kuklinski is "a captivating collection of over 75 documents concerning the planning and implementation martial law in Poland from mid-1980 to late 1981. The collection release coincided with a CIA symposium honouring Colonel Ryszard Kuklinski, a member of the Polish Army General Staff and the source of the documents."

Seems to focus especially on the Cold War. Definitely one for the conspirary theorists.

Fascinating topic and seems to have been created with specifically for use by teachers.
