Related Material
The Library of Congress Archives Central File Series includes files on the Cooperative Acquisitions Project and the Farmington Plan. The Manuscript Division holds the German captured documents collection, 1766-1945 that was acquired via the European Mission collaboration with U.S. military occupying forces. Most of this material is on microfilm, as the original documents were copied and returned to German repositories.
