The University graciously provided high quality scanned images of each printed book, which the Office further digitized to create a full text searchable edition. These volumes are available online and as free ebooks at the Office of the Historian’s website (http://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments). This is the first in a series of quarterly releases, which will continue until the FRUS digital archive is complete.
