Foreign Relations of the United States

Foreign Relations of the United States is the official documentary historical record of major U.S. foreign policy decisions that have been declassified and edited for publication by the U. S. State Department. (There is a Wikipedia article about this serial.)

Publication History

Foreign Relations of the United States goes back to 1861, originally published as messages of the President to Congress. In 1865, the series was titled "Papers relating to foreign affairs". It took its present title in 1948. Volumes are still issued, but lag the historical events they portray. (For example, a 1992 volume in the collection below deals with events between 1958 and 1960.)
