Cold
War International History Project
http://cwihp.si.edu/default.htm
The Cold War International History Project
(CWIHP) was set up at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for
Scholars in Washington D.C. in 1991. The aim of the project is to
disseminate new information and perspectives on the history of the
Cold War. They are especially interested with material which was
previously inaccessible in the former Eastern Block countries. The
CWIHP aims to achieve their aim through publications, fellowships,
scholarly meetings and conferences, and through the World Wide Web.
The CWIHP aims to supports the release
of materials by governments on all sides of the Cold War. In order
to make these documents widely available the web site hosts a virtual
archive/document library of material relating to the Cold War. It
is possible to browse the document library in a variety of ways
and also to carry out basic and advanced searches. All the documents
have been fully indexed to aid searching. The document library is
easy to browse or search and the source of all the documents is
clearly stated. The document library provides a valuable source
of primary material relating to the Cold War. The CWIHP web site
also holds details of conferences and workshops being held, press
releases, publications, new initiatives, details of their mailing
list and a set of relevant links is currently being developed. CWIHP
also supports an online discussion group for which registration
is required.
