| Government records are essential to the study of U.S. national security policy, and the National Security Archive has done much to gain the release of documents from the State and Defense departments, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the National Security Council, and other government agencies and to make them available for research. Founded in 1985 and located on the campus of George Washington University, the National Security Archive is a library with more than two million pages of declassified documents, the largest such collection in any nongovernmental repository. It is also a research institute that has published documents readers and other collections of government records in print, microfiche, and electronic formats. Finally, the archive is a public interest law firm that has used the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to secure the release of many of the documents it houses. The archive's two Web sites, although quite different, provide access to many collections of declassified records and information about the archive's role as advocate of public access to U.S. government documents. |
