The East European Collection, like all collections in the Hoover Institution, focuses primarily on events since the beginning of the twentieth century and on research materials in the original languages. It specializes in primary source documentation, private papers, diaries, manuscripts, letters, and other special materials. Coverage begins around the outbreak of World War I and concentrates on the fields of government and politics with special attention to national independence movements, the two world wars, Soviet-communist domination, and the struggle for human rights, sovereignty, and democracy.
