Scope and Contents

Through time, researchers with proper clearances have reviewed microfilm and requested that certain documents' contents be declassified. Under those occasions, the State Department would review the documents, and in cases of declassification, send photocopies of the declassified documents to the Mudd Manuscript Library. These documents are arranged in some cases by subject and in others by reel.

Conditions Governing Access
