If I was working in Cold War history right now, I’d be inclined to download as much as possible from the post 1960 FRUS, The Wilson Center, the CIA Reading Room, the Presidential Libraries, the DOE OpenNet, etc.

Is there a concerted effort to organize mass downloads and hosting of document collections that are currently digitized on federal websites? @shafrhistorians.bsky.social @historians.org @oah.org

A month ago I said download documents while you can. Get your FRUS documents now, because there is no reason to believe the Historical Office isn’t next.

The way things are going, I’m thinking Chris Rufo for education secretary, or Dinesh D’Souza….

Good idea. I’ll asked Lande if he’ll lead us off.

This is the kind of politics I can get behind.
