Description	This data collection - The Trachtenberg Papers - broadly concerns Cold War policy from the end of WWII to 1964. The data was accumulated in order to write several books and articles relating to Cold War relations during this pivotal period, most notably A Constructed Peace: The Making of the European Settlement, 1945-1963 (Princeton: Princeton University Press, February 1999). This particular data project encompasses Cold War documents from the United States. Each folder encompasses data for one year, except for data from the period prior to 1950 as well as the period after 1963, which are encompassed in two separate folders. 103 files are prepared for declassification analysis. These are documents for which different versions, at various stages of declassification, are available. Versions are distinguished by a suffix to the filename (e.g., _Sanitized; _Full) and the description includes the dates of declassification, when available.
