Having trouble making sense of those Wikileaks cables? Give thanks to the National Security Archive, which has created a helpful tip sheet for deciphering these primary documents.
What's the National Security Archive? Think of it as a Wikileaks that plays by the rules. They're an independent non-governmental research institute and library which collects and publishes declassified documents obtained through FOIA requests. They're also the folks that created the Digital National Security Archive, a rich online database of declassified documents. This database of primary sources includes documents from the Cuban Missle Crisis, the Vietnam War, the Iran-Contra Affair, genocide in Guatemala, and much, much more. Any of your students or faculty interested in 20th century U.S. foreign policy decisions will find this invaluable.
