The Office of the Historian website was recently launched by the U.S. Department of State in order to provide better access to the official historical documentary records of U.S. foreign policy. The Office is responsible for writing and researching historical studies on various aspects of U.S. diplomacy for use by policymakers, and for the public at large. On their site, visitors can find various scholarly reports, a number of educational videos, and information about upcoming and previous scholarly conferences. On the homepage, visitors will find selected new reports, along with updates about relevant events and talks sponsored by the Office of the Historian. Also, visitors can read biographies of famous diplomatic figures on the site and also browse their Foreign Relations of the United States series.
