Wash­ing­ton State has a large and active Jew­ish com­mu­nity that has been part
of its his­tory for over 150 years. It is notable for its large Sephardic
com­po­nent (Jews who trace their ances­try back to Spain and Por­tu­gal) that
enjoys a cul­ture dis­tinct from that of Ashke­nazic Jews (those from Cen­tral
and East­ern Europe).

The Uni­ver­sity of Wash­ing­ton Libraries has placed online a grow­ing
col­lec­tion of pho­tographs dat­ing from the mid 1800s to present day, that
relate to Jew­ish life and his­tory in the Pacific North­west, as well as
nation­ally and inter­na­tion­ally. Rep­re­sented are only a selec­tion of the
thou­sands of images in the Wash­ing­ton State Jew­ish Archives Pho­to­graph
Col­lec­tion.

Addi­tional con­tent for Dig­i­tal national secu­rity archive:
Peru: Human Rights, Drugs and Democ­racy, 1980–2000, is a uniquely detailed col­lec­tion of records doc­u­ment­ing U.S. for­eign pol­icy at work in Latin Amer­ica, as well as inter­nal domes­tic pol­i­tics in Peru. Incor­po­rat­ing the lat­est U.S. gov­ern­ment releases, which sig­nif­i­cantly enrich the his­tor­i­cal record, these doc­u­ments, vir­tu­ally all of which were pre­vi­ously clas­si­fied, pro­vide a com­pelling primary-source por­trait of civil war, repres­sion, and grow­ing author­i­tar­i­an­ism dur­ing three suc­ces­sive Peru­vian admin­is­tra­tions, as wit­nessed by the U.S. embassy in Lima, U.S. mil­i­tary offi­cials, and U.S. intelligence.

The set is notable for both its size and its con­tents. It includes more than 2,000 doc­u­ments, culled from archival sources, a large num­ber of FOIA requests, and direct State Depart­ment releases to Peru­vian truth and con­gres­sional commissions.
