America's history in words, pictures, and sounds. The majority of American Memory collections can be seen and read without special viewers. However, in some collections the Libraryprovides sound recordings, films, additional high-resolution images, and text with enhanced navigation. Just as you need special equipmentto play videotapes, cassettes, or CDs at home, you need special viewers to see and hear these historical materials.

From the presidential libraries, the C.I.A., the F.B.I. and a host of other agencies comes this collection of U.S. government documents. The major domestic and international events of the post-World War II world are covered in information by and for presidents, senators, and congress members. All were classified. Some were top secret. Now you can search every one of them.

This site is well organized with concise history and nice pictures of U.S. Diplomacy.
