British Foreign Office--Russia Correspondence

Another important segment of the British Foreign Office-Russia Correspondence has been acquired on microfilm, thanks to the continued interest and generosity of Dr. Timothy W. Childs (PhD '82) and the AKC Foundation of New York. They combined to provide funds for the purchase of files for the years 1904-1905 (Russo-Japanese War, 40 reels); 1919 (Foreign Intervention in the Civil War, 81 reels) and the Registers to the files for 1883-1905 and 1919, (12 reels). These latest additions bring the library holdings to over 400 reels of this important research material. Dr. Childs is a member of the Library Associates Board of Trustees.

British Documents on Foreign Affairs

The first volumes of the British Foreign Office Confidential Print series have been published by University Publications of America and given to the library by the publusher, John Moscato (AB '73), a member of the Associates Board of Trustees. The Confidential Print material amounts to thousands of British diplomatic reports of the 19th and 20th centuries, beginning about 1850, from many countries and areas of the world. The published collection will amount to more than 400 large volumes. The editors of the series are the distinguished British historians, Professor Kenneth Bourne and Professor Donald Cameron Watt.
