The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars was established in 1968 as a think tank and presidential memorial with a goal toward bringing scholars and politicians together to put ideas into practice. In the Vietnam War digital archive, readers will find various "once-secret" historical materials from archives around the world: telegrams, minutes, discussion notes that date from the mid 1950s to the late 1970s, and more. Interestingly, most are drawn from Chinese and Albanian archives, offering a view of the developing conflict in Vietnam as seldom reported in the United States. For example, a memorandum from May 31, 1956 documents a conversation between Premier Zhou Enlai and Ambassador R.K. Nehru, as the two discuss the Korean ceasefire and the burgeoning situation in what was then called Indochina. Many of the documents are drawn from cables sent between representatives of Polish, Albanian, and other Soviet satellite representatives to Chinese and North Vietnamese officials.
