Declassified Documents Reference System (DDRS)
http://0-galenet.galegroup.com.library.lausys.georgetown.edu/servlet/DDRS?locID=wash43584
DDRS is a full-text database of declassified documents acquired from presidential libraries. Documents are from various executive departments including the FBI, CIA, NSC and the State Department. The collection contains more than 75,000 facsimile copies of original documents requested by researchers and subsequently scanned by DDRS. It covers the post WWII era through the 1970s, but is not comprehensive. For instance it does not contain documents routinely declassified under the 30 year rule and made available elsewhere (NARA).
