Today’s release is part of the Office of the Historian’s ongoing project, in partnership with the University of Wisconsin Digital Collections Center, to digitize the entire Foreign Relations series. The University graciously provided high quality scanned images of the printed books (excepting the volumes covering 1969 through 1976), and the Office created a full text searchable edition from those images. These volumes are available online and as free ebooks at the Office of the Historian’s website (history.state.gov/historicaldocuments). This is the latest in a series of quarterly releases, which will continue until the FRUS digital archive is complete.
