Join us for a virtual tour of archival resources about Korea and U.S.-Korea
relations available for virtual and U.S.-based researchers. This discussion
highlights a diverse array of both longstanding and emerging collections,
providing a wide survey of available historical resources. How can
educators, researchers, historians, writers, and students best take
advantage of this treasure trove of materials? What stories await and what
impact can they have? What are some tips and tricks from librarians, center
directors, and archivists?

Participating resource centers include: the new Van Fleet Digital Archive,
The University of Wisconsin-Madison Center for East Asian Studies
U.S.-Korean Relations Collection, The Library of Congress Korean
Collection, and The Harry S. Truman Library and Museum. This program is
jointly produced by the Policy and the Education teams. Featuring: Dr. David
Fields, Associate Director of the Center for East Asian Studies at
University of Wisconsin-Madison, Joe McChristian, Jr. President of The Van
Fleet Foundation, Dr. Sam Rushay, Supervisory Archivist at the Harry S.
Truman Library and Museum, and Dr. Elli Kim, Korea Reference Librarian
