The Historical Collections Division (HCD) of CIA’s Information Management
Services is responsible for executing the Agency’s Historical Review Program.
This program seeks to identify, collect, and review for possible release to the
public documents of significant historical importance. The mission of HCD is to:
• Promote an accurate, objective understanding of the
information and intelligence that has helped shape the
foundation of major US policy decisions.
• Broaden access to lessons learned, presenting historical
material to emphasize the scope and context of past actions.
• Improve current decision-making and analysis by facilitating
reflection on the impacts and effects arising from past decisions.
• Uphold Agency leadership commitments to openness, while
protecting the national security interests of the US.
• Provide the American public with valuable insight into the
workings of the Government.
The History Staff in the CIA Center for the Study of Intelligence fosters
understanding of the Agency's history and its relationship to today's intelligence
challenges by communicating instructive historical insights to the CIA workforce,
other US Government agencies, and the public. CIA historians research topics
on all aspects of Agency activities and disseminate their knowledge through
publications, courses, briefings, and Web-based products. They also work with
other Intelligence Community historians on publication and education projects that
highlight interagency approaches to intelligence issues. Lastly, the CIA History
Staff conducts an ambitious program of oral history interviews that are invaluable for
preserving institutional memories that are not captured in the documentary record.

The Harry S. Truman Library and Museum was established to preserve and make
available the papers, books, artifacts and other historical materials of the 33rd
President of the United States for purposes of research, education, and exhibition.
The Truman Library, the nation’s second Presidential Library, was dedicated on
July 6, 1957. Its archives have 15,000,000 pages of manuscript materials, of
which about half are President Truman’s papers. The Library contains an extensive
audiovisual collection of still pictures, audio recordings, motion pictures and video
tape recordings. The Library has available for research hundreds of transcripts
of oral history interviews with President Truman’s family, friends, and associates.
The museum’s collection consists of approximately 30,000 objects, including
hundreds of Truman family possessions, political memorabilia, and diplomatic gifts.
Through its public programs, the Library reaches a diverse audience of people and
organizations by sponsoring conferences and research seminars, by conducting
special tours of the Library's museum for school classes and educational groups,
and through a wide range of other activities. The Library’s education department
sponsors teacher workshops, and prepares activities and lesson plans for
elementary and secondary students. The White House Decision Center gives
students a first-hand look at President Truman’s decisions concerning civil rights,
the Korean War, the Berlin Airlift, and the ending of the war against Japan.
The Truman Library is supported, in part, by the Harry S. Truman Library Institute,
its not-for-profit partner. The Institute promotes, through educational and community
programs, a greater appreciation and understanding of American politics and
government, history and culture, and public service, as exemplified by Harry Truman.
The Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum is an international institution where
visitors can learn about the only five-star general to become President of the United
States. The 22-acre site features five buildings, which are open daily from 9:00
a.m.-4:45 p.m., except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day. By exploring
all there is to see on our campus, visitors will have the opportunity to understand the
life of the man, the hero, and the leader of the Free World – Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Our mission is the preservation of the historical papers, audiovisual materials,
and artifacts relating to Eisenhower and his times. We strive to make this history
accessible to the general public, students and teachers, scholars, and interested
visitors through public programs, exhibits, educational materials, and online resources.
