American Archives

National Archives II - College Park, MD

The National Archives at College Park, Maryland (also known as Archives II) houses a vast collection of federal records, including military, diplomatic, and intelligence documents, with extensive resources on U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. This archive is a key resource for scholars researching 20th-century U.S. history.

In December 2022, I received a Contemporary History Institute (CHI) grant to visit the archive, allowing me to further my research on the Vietnam War by accessing essential materials related to my dissertation.

The Moody Foundation awarded me a research grant, which enabled my visit to the LBJ Library in September 2024. The Vietnam Country Files housed in the archive provided valuable insights that greatly informed and enriched my dissertation research.
