This collection reflects Garthoff’s lifelong interest in the intelligence community and the Cold War. The bulk of the collection is newsprint or copies of news articles, and scholarly articles and copies of books on intelligence topics, frequently with marginalia and comments by Garthoff. While some sources are in Russian, the majority of the collection is in English. The collection is divided into two series, one comprised of intelligence coverage in news sources from 1943 to 2010, and the second comprised of files on intelligence topics.
