DescriptionThis multi-faceted project features historical materials that have been released by the nations or governments that were involved in the Cold War. It seeks to add a new, less-Western dimension to scholarship on Cold War history (which has had a predominantly Western slant) by making accessible documents from the former \"Communist bloc.\" Creators of the project hope that, by making these once classified documents available online, new connections will be forged between scholars of Cold War history, regardless of linguistic and geographical barriers. Its collection (a virtual archive) consists of 34 sub-collections, organized by subject matter as well as by content.

Future plansAlthough the site does not explicitly say so, it suggests that material is regularly (if not frequently) added to the virtual archive.
