Search and Sort Foreign Relations Documents by Date

The most frequently requested feature by users of the Office of the Historian website is now here: Readers can search the Foreign Relations series by date and sort search results chronologically. The new search interface allows users to leverage a combination of keywords, date ranges, and volume-based filtering to enhance their FRUS research experience.
