Churchill Archive
Modern History. Documented and Digitized.
Published in collaboration with the Churchill Archives Centre, the Churchill Archive is an invaluable digital library of modern international history. The collection includes more than 800,000 pages of original documents produced between 1874 and 1965, ranging from Sir Winston Churchill’s personal correspondence to exchanges between the great leaders of the 19th and 20th centuries. The documents are a UNESCO Memory of the World.
Available via perpetual access or subscription to institutions worldwide.
"This is a phenomenal resource, both in terms of the content and the navigational mechanisms. It allows researchers not just to understand one man, but a century of world, diplomatic and social history."
