UNCLASSIFIED/DECLASSIFIED COLLECTIONS SORTED BY NAME

The following pages contain two lists of collections which are held by the Operational Archives Branch and which are unclassified or declassified. All of the listed collections are open for public research. Some of the personal paper collections and oral histories may have restrictions on their use which were placed by the donor. These restrictions include: (1) Permission of the donor required to cite or quote; and (2) Permission of the donor required to view the collection. The access to some of these collections can change, which is why we have not attempted to mark which collections have restrictions. We occasionally review these restrictions and contact the donors to see if the restrictions can be lifted. If you are interested in viewing a personal paper collection or oral history, it is suggested that you contact the Operational Archives before your visit to ensure that permission from a donor is not required before use.
