The Cold War International History Project is a website (and program) from the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars that “supports the full and prompt release of historical materials by governments on all sides of the Cold War, and seeks to accelerate the process of integrating new sources, materials and perspectives from the former “Communist bloc” with the historiography of the Cold War which has been written over the past few decades largely by Western scholars reliant on Western archival sources. It also seeks to transcend barriers of language, geography, and regional specialization to create new links among scholars interested in Cold War history.”This online resource contains a digital archive of Cold War primary source collections. A few of the topics covered by these collections include:

  • The Korean War
  • The 1956 Polish and Hungarian Crises
  • The Cuban Missile Crisis
  • The 1980-81 Polish Crisis
  • The Soviet Invasion in Afghanistan
  • The End of the Cold War
