The first on-line session visited the Blinken Open Society Archives in Budapest with numerous documents and cultural items available from across governments and private enterprises in Eastern Europe and the United States, and the Rockefeller Archive Center in New York, a foundation archive with records pertaining to the United States in Latin America, China, Japan, and Europe. Participants accessed a working list of hundreds of archives with digital resources.
