North America Collections at the Hoover Institution Library & Archives

The US collections provide rich coverage of domestic political, social, and intellectual movements in the modern era, as well as US foreign policy and engagement abroad, especially of the two world wars and American/Soviet relations during the Cold War. Other collecting strengths are émigré communities—particularly Eastern European groups—within the United States and international education.
