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.
