The Americas Collection contains materials from North and Latin America. Its primary purpose is to document political, economic, and social developments in the Western Hemisphere. Collecting on the United States has focused on the history of this country during the two world wars and the Korean and Vietnam Wars and on U.S. foreign policy and relations with other countries throughout the twentieth century. The Latin American Collection encompasses political and, to a lesser degree, economic and social developments in selected countries. Over the decades the selecting of materials on North and Latin America has been flexible, focusing on varying subjects and periods: individual governmental, political and military leaders; official, unofficial, and clandestine organizations; and the papers of pacifists, scientists, journalists, engineers, missionaries, and others involved as individuals or organizations in making, implementing, and influencing domestic and international policy.
