This collection brings to the fore a unique selection of 2,429 primary source documents illustrating U.S.-Argentina relations during the late 1970s, when, after the collapse of Isabel Perón's government, the Argentine armed forces took control of the country. During this period, the U.S. developed a foreign policy premised on promoting respect for human rights, and the Argentine military government implemented a counterinsurgency policy that emphasized suppressing dissent at all costs, thus propelling the two countries onto a collision course over human rights. This set follows U.S. officials through a series of snapshots, which depict the tragedy experienced in Argentina during this critical, formative period, including a political collapse verging on civil war; a military coup; and massive illegal detentions, torture, and kidnappings. The documents show U.S. officials grappling to deal with human rights violations on a scale never heard of in the Western Hemisphere, underscored by the dramatic disappearance of tens of thousands of people at the hands of the security forces.

ProQuest has teamed with The Hatfield House Archives to digitize their privately held collection of almost 30,000 documents gathered by William Cecil (1520-1598), Lord Burghley and his son Robert Cecil (1563-1612), First Earl of Salisbury. This important collection includes many sixteenth- and seventeenth-century state papers, grants from the Crown, legal documents, treaties, correspondences, and political memoranda. ProQuest's The Cecil Papers also includes a digitised version of The Calendar of the Manuscripts of the Marquess of Salisbury. All the documents, which include a number of contemporary hand-drawn maps, tables, and letters, have been reproduced as full-color, high-quality images directly from original documents. These images can be examined using a dynamic viewing tool or downloaded as PDFs of JPEGs.
"The Cecil Papers are a privately held archive of approximately 30,000 sixteenth and seventeenth-century manuscripts, consisting principally of the correspondence of William Cecil, Lord Burghley (1520-1598) and his son Robert, the 1st Earl of Salisbury (1563-1612). These two men dominated the administration of government during the reign of Elizabeth I and the first eight years under her successor, to the extent that critics suggested that England was becoming a regnum Cecilianum. Both Cecils held a variety of public appointments; they were both long-serving Secretaries of State who achieved even greater political power as Lord High Treasurer. The collection documents their various official roles. In addition, the collection contains documents acquired by Robert Cecil that had belonged to his rival, Robert Devereux, the 2nd Earl of Essex. The papers span the period 1520-1668, from the birth of William Cecil, Lord Burghley, to the death of William Cecil, 2nd Earl of Salisbury. Because of the importance of the Cecils, the materials offer crucial insights into the events of one of the most dynamic periods of history, including the marriages of Henry VIII, through the reign of Elizabeth I and the clandestine plans to facilitate James I/VI's accession, upon her death. In addition to the documents relating to English domestic politics, also covered in detail are overseas occurrences and interactions with other powers, through the reports of English ambassadors to the courts of Europe and the network of overseas agents. Among the major events in English foreign policy addressed by these documents are the Tudor reconquest of Ireland, the Anglo-Spanish War, the loss of Calais to the French, and the early settlement of America. Besides the political papers, ProQuest's The Cecil Papers database also includes selected documents from a separate collection, the Cecil Family and Estate Papers, which shed light on the rich history of three generations of the family"

The set covers more than half a century of bilateral relations--from the 1959 Cuban revolution to the restoration of diplomatic ties during the Barack Obama administration. The collection records back-channel diplomacy between Washington and Havana, along with multiple episodes of negotiations for bilateral agreements. The set also contains highly detailed documents on several major efforts during the administrations of John F. Kennedy, Gerald R. Ford, and Jimmy Carter to negotiate a modus vivendi with Castro’s Cuba and normalize relations. A breakthrough was finally achieved by President Obama and President Raúl Castro in 2014, and the final documents of the collection reflect the Obama administration’s new approach to Cuba.

This collection is a unique contribution to that history. Published here for the first time is a multinational set of records--declassified documentation from the United States, the Soviet Union, Cuba and other key countries--covering events leading up to and through the missile crisis in 1962. Consisting of 1,463 documents providing details that have reshaped our understanding of history, the collection covers the CIA-led invasion at the Bay of Pigs, covert operations leading up to the Soviet installation of intermediate range weapons in Cuba, the crisis itself as it played out in Washington, Moscow and Havana, the negotiations to end the crisis--between the U.S. and the Soviets, and between the Soviets and Fidel Castro--and international relations between these key actors in the aftermath of the Soviet withdrawal of its nuclear weapons. Beyond formerly top-secret records from the three main participants, the collection includes illuminating documents culled from the secret archives of other countries such as Canada, Great Britain, Brazil, Hungary and other nations that played a role in this unparalleled history

The Cuban Missile Crisis, ProQuest primary sources collection, Access and Build, Access & Build, DNSA, Digital National Security Archive
The Cuban Missile Crisis, 1962 presents an integrated, comprehensive record of U.S. decisionmaking during the most dangerous U.S.-Soviet confrontation in the nuclear era. Some 3,400 unique records relevant to the crisis, totalling approximately 17,500 pages, are reproduced in the microfiche. Much of the documentation focuses on U.S. decisionmaking during what Robert Kennedy called the "Thirteen Days" of the missile crisis—from McGeorge Bundy's October 16, 1962 briefing of President Kennedy on the discovery of Soviet missiles in Cuba to Nikita Khrushchev's October 28 decision to withdraw the weapons. The numerous intelligence reports, diplomatic cables, political analyses, military situation reports, and meeting minutes included in the set portray both the deliberative process and the execution of critical decisions made by the Kennedy administration during the crisis.

Marking the 50th anniversary of the most harrowing episode of the nuclear age -- the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962-- the National Security Archive and ProQuest are pleased to present an extraordinarily rich new update consisting of the very latest declassified documentation on the missiles of October (and November). These fresh materials, supplementing the ground-breaking collections that are already a part of the Digital National Security Archive, contain news-making and never-before-published records from U.S. and Soviet archives. Among these are a compilation of highlights (translated from Russian) from the personal archive of Anastas Mikoyan, the Soviet leader who developed a special relationship with Castro and negotiated the end of the crisis in November; the U.S. Navy tracking reports during the crisis on Soviet submarines which, unbeknownst to the Americans, were armed with nuclear torpedoes; briefing documents for the Joint Chiefs of Staff planning an invasion of Cuba; and formerly Codeword-classified U.S. intelligence materials relating to Soviet deployments in Cuba of FKR cruise missiles which the CIA did not realize were armed with Hiroshima-sized nuclear warheads. These weapons underlay a warning by Khrushchev -- believed to be baseless bluster by Kennedy and his advisers -- that the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo would disappear the first day after a U.S. invasion of Cuba. Also in this update, fully-indexed, are 4 volumes of the CIA's internal history of the failed Bay of Pigs invasion of 1961, the crucial precursor to the Missile Crisis. These previously secret primary sources, obtained by the National Security Archive through Freedom of Information Act requests and archival sleuthing, are once again allowing scholars and students to rewrite the history of a crisis that was even more perilous than policymakers knew at the time -- a crisis for which, even then, President Kennedy estimated the odds at between one-in-three and even of leading to nuclear war.

Gerritsen collection of Aletta H. Jacobs
ProQuest primary sources collection, Access and Build, Access & Build
In the late 1800's, Dutch physician and feminist Aletta Jacobs and her husband C.V. Gerritsen began collecting books, pamphlets and periodicals reflecting the revolution of a feminist consciousness and the movement for women's rights. By the time their successors finished their work in 1945, the Gerritsen Collection was the greatest single source for the study of women's history in the world, with materials spanning four centuries and 15 languages. The Gerritsen curators gathered more than 4,700 publications from continental Europe, the U.S., the United Kingdom, Canada, and New Zealand, dating from 1543-1945. The anti-feminist case is presented as well as the pro-feminist; many other titles present a purely objective record of the condition of women at a given time. The broad scope of the collection allows scholars to trace the evolution of feminism within a single country, as well as the impact of one country's movement on those of the others. In many cases, it also provides easy access to primary sources otherwise available only in a few rare book rooms.

The Gilded Age & Progressive Era
This resource aims to showcase the transformation of America into a modern, urban, industrial global power through business, legal and personal papers. Technological progress and extreme wealth for the few, contrasted with stark inequality and endemic poverty for much of America's population. The social problems caused by this rapid urbanization led to a widespread reform movement from the 1890s to the 1920s; the period now known as the Progressive Era. These reforms aimed to eliminate political corruption, regulate monopolies, and establish systems of social support. It was also during this period that some of the key Gilded Age captains of industry started donating their profits on a huge scale. They funded scientific research and founded countless public education and arts institutions, creating many of the major museums, libraries and universities in the United States today. The bulk of the material ranges from 1870-1920, with some personal collections continuing later in the twentieth century. Collections range from papers of key industrial corporations, charities, influential families, and cultural institutions to visual content in the form of political cartoons, photographs, and ephemera.

This compilation updates the National Security Archive's unparalleled publications of declassified documents on Henry Kissinger and his central role in diplomacy and national security policy during the Nixon and Ford presidencies. Initially denied under the Freedom of Information Act, these telephone transcripts and records of meetings at the State Department and the White House cover a wide range of issues, from the Vietnam War to the 1976 elections, amounting to a verbatim record of U.S. foreign policy-making at the highest levels. This new collection adds 971 freshly declassified memoranda of telephone conversation (telcons) and nine memoranda of conversation (memcons) of White House and State Department meetings. Almost all of these documents were declassified at the specific request of the National Security Archive. Among them are recently declassified telcons from the Richard Nixon Presidential Library of conversations between Kissinger, President Nixon, Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird, and CIA director Richard Helms, among others.

Some three quarters of the documents in this collection were produced by Kissinger and his assistants on the National Security Council Staff. Even after Kissinger became secretary of state, he relied on the NSC system for keeping meeting records, especially of the most sensitive matters such as relations with Beijing and Moscow, Middle East diplomacy, or meetings with the president. In many instances it is not evident exactly who prepared the records, but among the staffers whom Kissinger relied on heavily was his assistant, Peter W. Rodman, who prepared at least 497 of the documents in this collection. When Kissinger served as secretary of state, for those events when he did not rely on the NSC staff to record a meeting, he depended on a State Department country desk director or more senior officials, such as deputy or assistant secretaries of state, to prepare the 'memcons'. In this way, Kissinger could limit the "need to know" to the most restricted number of individuals possible.
The database covers the entire four-decade period (from 1918 to 1959) in which Klemperer kept his diaries. Klemperer, who primarily identified as "German," was the son of a reform rabbi and converted to Protestantism in 1912. For the Nazis, however, he remained a Jew and was persecuted as such. His careful observations and analyses from the Weimar Republic, the National Socialist era, and the German Democratic Republic illuminate what it meant to live under these three regimes. As the Nazis rose to power, he adopted the role of a "cultural historian of the catastrophe," documenting the ongoing withdrawal of rights from Jews. These observations are accompanied by a minute account of his day-to-day life under National Socialism. His post-1945 diaries testify to a desire for a radical new beginning - both for himself and for Germany. Though less well known than his other diaries and until now never published in full, these provide significant insights into the divided post-war Germany and early East Germany, as well as Klemperer's engagement with Communism and Zionism.

Archives unbound
Arab-Israeli Relations 1917-1970 offers the widest range of original source material from the British Foreign Office, Colonial Office, War Office and Cabinet Papers from the 1917 Balfour Declaration through to the Black September war of 1970-1.

HeinOnline military and government
HeinOnline’s Military and Government collection brings together thousands of diverse publications related to the history, glory, might, and daily nitty-gritty of administrating America’s fighting forces. Composed of books, congressional hearings, committee prints, legislative histories, CRS and GAO Reports, and more, this database allows users to research the functions of the federal government in administrating the armed forces and the issues confronting service personnel both on and off the battlefield, from women’s changing role in the military, hollow forces, the development of new weaponry, free speech rights, and navigating benefits offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs after service. With funding to the Department of Defense making up the largest portion of the U.S. federal budget—spending more on its military than any other country in the world, at $721.5 billion in FY2020—users will find a large number of publications devoted to appropriating, authorizing, and accounting for funds spent by the military, as well as debate on the necessity and effects of spending such large sums. Legislative histories on relevant legislation—on Selective Service, military justice, war claims, veteran’s health care, the Posse Comitatus Act, and more—help to flesh out the interaction of the federal government with the functioning of the military and its structural changes over time. Coverage in this collection deals with military issues from the American Revolution on up to the present War on Terror, with selected titles from English military history to supplement understanding of the development of America’s own military law.

Gale primary sources, Political extremism & radicalism in the twentieth century, Far-Right and Left Political Groups in the U.S., Europe, and Australia in the Twentieth Century, Far-Right Groups in America
Political Extremism and Radicalism provides insight on unorthodox (by contemporary standards), fringe groups from both the right and left of the political spectrum through rare, hard to access primary sources. Content supports scholars and students answering questions on philosophical, social, political, and economic ideologies as well as on contemporary issues surrounding gender, sexuality, race, religion, civil rights, universal suffrage, and much more. Far-Right and Left Political Groups in the U.S., Europe, and Australia in the Twentieth Century covers a broad assortment of both far-right and radical left political groups. It offers a diverse mixture of materials, including periodicals, campaign propaganda, government records, oral histories, and various ephemera, which allow researchers to explore unorthodox social and political movements in new and innovative ways and to understand the impact they have had on today’s society. The collections cover a period of just over a century (1900s to 2010s) when the world saw the formation of several civil rights movements, including for the rights of minorities, women's rights, and gay rights. It also encompasses the rise and fall of a number of peripheral groups deemed ‘extreme’ or ‘radical’ by contemporaries, such as anti-Catholic, anti-Semitic, anti-war, communist or socialist, creationist, environmentalist, hate, holocaust denial, new left, survivalist, white supremacist, and white nationalist. The archive is global in scope - although it presents materials largely from the United States and Britain. By spanning multiple geographic regions, the resource shows the cultural impact of radical groups at a national level as well as the international networking and cross-border exchanges of extreme political movements. Far-Right Groups in America centres on groups considered to be on the extreme right of the political spectrum, with a particular focus on white supremacist and nationalist groups in the United States, including the Ku Klux Klan and Aryan Nations. Researchers will have access to essential sources covering several topics that would fall under the broader theme of right-wing America including nationalism, racism, anti-Semitism, Christian Identity, homophobia, political misinformation, and conspiracy theories. The archive features a range of content exploring the nature of these far-right groups. Researchers can examine the varying manifestations of far-right ideologies, looking at their emergence, growth, structure and development, as well as the identities of individual groups, both from the point of view of those critical of the groups and, more significantly, via the voices of the groups themselves. The inclusion of newspapers, pamphlets, newsletters and other propaganda originally targeted at existing members offers a unique insight into the far-right from the perspective of those who adhere to its ideologies. White supremacist newspapers allow researchers to build an understanding of the ideology of these groups from the perspective of their members. These can be studied alongside materials that critically discuss far-right politics from outside the groups themselves. The significant inclusion of audio recordings from the James Aho Collection at Idaho State University builds on this, allowing researchers to investigate the internal rhetoric of groups such as the Church of Jesus Christ Christian. This unique collection of recorded sermons and interviews, which are accompanied by transcripts, includes talks from far-right leaders such as Manfred Roeder and Pastor Richard G. Butler.

In addition, the numerous substantive responses to study requests that are included here, particularly from the Nixon and Ford administrations, offer an insider's view of many of the most important policy documents that crossed the president's desk throughout the post-World War II period.

This module provides a comprehensive view of the NAACP's evolution, policies, and achievements from 1909-1970. Included are thousands of pages of minutes of directors' meetings, monthly reports from officers to the board of directors, proceedings of the annual business meetings, significant records of the association's annual conferences, plus voluminous special reports on a wide range of issues. The Annual Conferences served both as a major catalyst for attracting publicity and as an important avenue for grass roots participation (through branch delegations) in the affairs of the national organization. The conferences were held in a different city each year. The speeches and the resolutions passed at the annual conferences are excellent ways to study the major concerns of the NAACP on a yearly basis.

The focus of this module is on the NAACP's efforts to combat lynching, mob violence, discrimination in the criminal justice system, and white resistance to civil rights efforts. These files are supplemented by materials on segregation and discrimination complaints regarding public accommodations and recreational facilities sent to and investigated by the NAACP, and records on discrimination in employment. A particularly rich set of records in this module is the NAACP file on one of the most celebrated criminal trials of the 20th century--the case of the Scottsboro Boys. The NAACP's campaign against lynching and mob violence was ideally suited to accomplish the NAACP's early goals of breaching the wall of silence regarding racial discrimination and racial violence, and bringing African Americans into full civic participation. The records pertaining to this campaign shed light on the Great Migration of the early 20th century and the movement of African Americans to urban areas, and NAACP's efforts to respond to urban mob violence, especially during the violence of 1919 as well as later riots. The NAACP's efforts to win passage of a federal law against lynching are also well-documented in this module.
This module is comprised of records of three important women's rights organizations: the National Woman's Party, the League of Women Voters, and the Women's Action Alliance. Originally a committee of the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA), the National Woman's Party (NWP) was founded in 1913 when Alice Paul and her colleagues broke away from NAWSA in dissent over strategy and tactics. The Women's Action Alliance, established in 1971 as a grass-roots organization, concerned itself with issues such as employment and employment discrimination, childcare, health care, and education. The League of Women Voters collection documents almost every facet of women's involvement in U.S. politics from 1920 to 1974.

U.S. Military Intelligence Reports offer comprehensive documentation of developments and events in the key nations of the world during the period from World War I to the final campaigns of World War II. After World War I, the U.S. military developed a sophisticated intelligence gathering capability. Concerned with much more than strictly military intelligence, American military attaches and their staffs reported on a wide range of topics, including the internal politics, social and economic conditions, and foreign affairs of the countries in which they were stationed. This module contains the U.S. Military Intelligence reports for China, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Argentina, Mexico, Soviet Union, Biweekly Intelligence Summaries, and Combat Estimates.
This module covers U.S. involvement in the region from the early days of the Kennedy administration, through the escalation of the war during the Johnson administration, to the final resolution of the war at the Paris Peace Talks and the evacuation of U.S. troops in 1973. Along the way, documents in this module trace the actions and decisions at the highest levels of the U.S. foreign policy apparatus, as well as events on the ground in Vietnam, from the perspective of State Department officials, Associated Press reporters, and members of the U.S. Armed forces, including the Marines and the Military Assistance Command Vietnam. The strong collections also highlight all of the most important foreign policy issues facing the U.S. between 1960 and 1975. An important feature of this module is the records of the Associated Press's Saigon Bureau. Over 40 years ago, as Saigon was falling to the communists and the U.S. was evacuating Vietnam, Peter Arnett saved the records of the AP's Saigon Bureau and brought them back to the United States. Until ProQuest scanned them and digitized them in History Vault, they were never before available to the public.

Planning, Invasion, and Occupation, 1997-2004 is a collection of 2,141 records, many only recently declassified, documenting U.S. policy toward Iraq from 1997 through mid-2004. Included is material from President Bill Clinton’s second term, when the overthrow of Iraq’s president, Saddam Hussein, became official United States policy, documents covering the invasion of Iraq in March 2003, and information on the 18 months of direct U.S. occupation. The latter ended during the summer of 2004, when Iraqis technically regained their sovereignty and the Coalition Provisional Authority, set up by the U.S. to administer Iraq, was dissolved. The collection includes documents from the State and Defense Departments reflecting debates within both the Clinton and the Bush administrations about how best to achieve American objectives in Iraq, and discussions from the Bush presidency about tactics for winning congressional, United Nations, foreign, and domestic support for the United States’ decision to invade Iraq. Included are examples of the intelligence reporting that underlay U.S. allegations that Iraq had active chemical, biological, and even nuclear weapons programs, and that Saddam Hussein was operationally linked to global terrorists, including the militant Islamist leader Osama bin Laden. Also available within the collection are examples of assessments championing these claims, and contradictory analyses arguing that the allegations were not confirmed by available evidence. Materials in the set can be used to compare raw and unconfirmed intelligence information reports, finished analyses, and documents that were prepared for public consumption, as the White House sought partners for the regime-change policy it had elected to pursue.

Gale primary sources, Daily telegraph
Launched in 1855, the Telegraph was the first daily morning paper. By 1876, the Telegraph was the largest-selling newspaper in the world, with a circulation of 300,000. Under the editorship of poet and Orientalist Edwin Arnold from 1873 to 1899, the newspaper published widely on foreign affairs and foreign cultures. Its dedication to foreign news coverage was evidenced by its employment of several renowned special correspondents over the years; Winston Churchill, who reported from India in 1897, Rudyard Kipling, who braved the trenches of the First World War, and Clare Hollingworth, who, as the first female war correspondent, relayed the start of the Second World War from Poland. During the twentieth century, the Telegraph cemented its reputation as a pioneering yet reliable source of news reporting. The newspaper's commitment to lively copy was matched by its desire to position itself at the forefront of journalistic innovation; it published the first crossword to appear in a newspaper in 1925, the first television column in 1935, and became the first British newspaper to launch a website in 1994. The publication of the Telegraph is generally seen by press historians as the start of a new era of journalism that emerged following the repeal of the stamp duty, marking the first step towards the mass-market journalism of the Daily Mail. The Telegraph Historical Archive has over 1 million pages of content and includes the Sunday edition from its inception in 1961. The archive offers a fundamental insight into domestic and international affairs and culture over a timespan of almost 150 years.

The Theologische Realenzyklopädie (TRE) [Theological Encyclopedia] is a modern specialist encyclopaedia comprising 36 volumes of text (1976-2004) representing the present state of theological research as a whole. More than a generation of scholars have collaborated in its production, to create a unique internationally-oriented reference work containing more than 2,500 articles (on over 28,000 pages of text) which stands as a document of the history of scholarship. The TRE is an indispensable tool for research, study and teaching, principally in theology, but also in its neighbouring disciplines such as history, philosophy, Jewish studies and religious studies. The Theologische Realenzyklopädie treats the whole range of ecclesiastical and theological subjects from an ecumenical and international perspective; it deals with faith and thought, theology and church, acknowledgement and, if possible, understanding, beyond the boundaries of Christianity. Thus, in addition to the disciplines of the Old and New Testaments, church history, systematic and practical theology, the work also integrates Jewish studies, religious studies and philosophy - or rather, sees them as integral to theological study.

The trench journals and unit magazines of the First World War are a unique source of information on the common serviceman and woman's experience of the war. These magazines were written by and for every type of unit from every combatant nation. As such they contain the hitherto unheard voices of hundreds of thousands of men and women writing from every facet of the conflict. They were written and illustrated by service personnel from a huge variety of units: the infantry, artillery, air force, naval, supply and transport units, military hospitals and training depots of all combatant nations including America, Britain, Germany, Canada, France, Australia and New Zealand. Although the majority of journals that have survived originate from units based on the Western Front in France and Belgium, there are also magazines from units serving on the Eastern Front, in Gallipoli, Palestine, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, India, Britain and America. Commonly referred to as providing a voice to the unit, they are filled with what mattered most to the unit that created it. As such they served to create a sense of esprit de corps and a means of raising the spirits of the unit through humorous stories, poems, jokes and parodies. They also served to document the unit's circumstances and experiences and so accounts and memoirs of a more individual history of the war and the unit's part in it feature prominently in many journals. As a means of offering an outlet for literary or creative expression, the trench journals were hugely important to their contributors. The magazines contain a vast and previously unrecognised corpus of war poetry written by a multitude of hitherto unknown poets which acts as a vital counterpoint to the more established authors who emerged from the War. This collection contains over 1,500 trench journal titles sourced from leading archives around the world including those of the Imperial War Museums and The British Library

U.S. Intelligence on Weapons of Mass Destruction: From World War II to Iraq originated in the National Security Archive’s interest in documenting the U.S. Intelligence Community’s production of intelligence concerning the most important weapons systems that other nations produced or tried to produce during World War II, the Cold War, and the post-Cold War era. Whether those nations were friendly, neutral or hostile, U.S. decision-makers were intensely interested in intelligence concerning their WMD and space systems. That intelligence was valuable for a number of reasons: assessing the threat posed by hostile or potentially hostile nations, negotiating and monitoring arms control agreements, aiding the formation of foreign and commercial policies--from seeking to forestall the proliferation of nuclear and other weaponry to evaluating requests for purchases of nuclear technology—as well as assessing the military capabilities of other nations and estimating the impact of potential military conflicts.

Chronologically following the Archive's earlier ProQuest publication, U.S. Nuclear History: Nuclear Arms and Politics in the Missile Age, 1955-1968, this set documents nuclear weapons policies during the presidential administrations of Richard M. Nixon and Gerald R. Ford. With the deployment of multiple independently targetable delivery vehicles (MIRVs) and the initiation of strategic arms control talks, this was a significant period in the history of the nuclear age and essential for understanding the developments of subsequent years. The nuclear competition was a source of East-West friction during the post-World War II era, and important to the way the tensions developed. It was also an element that made the tensions highly dangerous, as policymakers during the Nixon and Ford administrations recognized. To help researchers better understand this period, documents in this collection illuminate decision-making at the White House and the Defense Department, policy inputs from the State Department and the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency (ACDA), as well as strategic intelligence analyses and reporting provided to the decision-makers. Moreover, the 2,291 documents in this collection provide invaluable information on the missile and bomber deployments that embodied the devastating threats that were the bases of Cold War deterrence and the war plans that were designed to make good on those threats.

The Vogue Italia Archive
The Vogue Italia Archive will make available the backfile - spanning more than half a century – of one of the most influential and renowned international editions of Vogue. Pages are reproduced in high-resolution color, with rich indexing enabling images to be searched by, for example, garment type, designer, and brand names. In addition to the editorial content, covers, advertisements, and pictorial features are captured as separate documents to permit effective searching and discovery.The magazine had a trade emphasis when it launched in 1964 but, from the outset, it regularly used leading photographers, such as Albert Watson, Helmut Newton, and Richard Avedon. It subsequently became more overtly a magazine of style and is now recognized as the most artistic edition of Vogue. Its many innovative, often controversial, initiatives include publishing an all-black issue (featuring only black models and offering articles about black women in the arts) and using plus-size cover models (part of a campaign against pro-anorexia websites).The archive spans all aspects of the fashion world, from trends and runway shows to personalities and industry initiatives. Among the leading photographers/directors to have contributed are Steven Meisel, Peter Lindberg, Bruce Weber, Paolo Roversi, Miles Aldridge, Ellen Von Unwerth, Solve Sundsbo, Mario Sorrenti, and Steve Hiett. Editorial content, however, extends beyond fashion, with high-quality coverage of many other topics, such as art, film, literature, music, cuisine, architecture/design, beauty/health, and travel. The magazine is also known for its social commentary and bold treatment of current issues and events, having addressed topics including environment/sustainability, cosmetic surgery, addiction, war and foreign policy, terrorism/security, and domestic violence.Vogue Italia's appeal is international, with almost half of its print issues typically being sold outside of Italy. Former editor, the late Franca Sozzani, spoke of the magazine's enduring ethos of maximizing its global reach through prioritizing visuals and recognizing that the image must be the real language of the magazine.

The 19th Century Actors Photographs collection consists of 610 cartes-de-visite studio portraits of entertainers, actors, and actresses who performed on the American stage in the mid- to late 1800s. Many of these actors and actresses were little known outside of the major theater centers of New York City, Philadelphia, and Boston. Such was the popularity of the theater, though, that even good "utility" actors and actresses could justify having these photographs made. The cartes-de-visite, mounted on 2-1/2-by-4-inch card stock, could be produced cheaply and collectors were fond of purchasing photographs of their favorite performers. The card trade flourished as performers realized the publicity value of the collectible cartes-de-visite. By the 1870s-1880s millions were sold in the United States, when the process reached its greatest popularity.
