A WINDOW ON HISTORY Launching in Autumn 2012, the Churchill Archive is a digital library of modern international history available online for the first time. The Churchill Archive includes more than 800,000 pages of original documents, produced between 1874 and 1965, ranging from Winston S. Churchill’s personal correspondence to his official exchanges with kings, presidents, politicians and military leaders. This is more than a fantastic collection of primary source material, it is a unique digital library offering new insight into a fascinating period of our past.
“This is the holy grail of twentieth-century archives.” – Martin Farr, Director of Undergraduate Studies, School of Historical Studies, Newcastle University
“The Churchill Archive will make students much more likely to use primary sources, and will give them a wider range of documents to draw on. In addition, I am more likely now to shape components of my course around the documents if I know they are available to students in such a convenient form.” – Christopher M. Bell, Associate Professor, Dalhousie University
