Encrypted Telex Communication 1953-73

The digital series, ‘Free Europe Committee/Radio Free Europe - Encrypted Telex Communication’ between the Free Europe Committee (FEC) in New York and Radio Free Europe (RFE) in Munich is an important part of the Free Europe Committee collection. The aim of this project is to combine the archivist’s work with the new possibilities offered by modern science and information technology to process, describe, manage, organize, interpret, and visualize more than 20 years of intermingled history of the FEC and RFE during the Cold War. So far more than 56 000 documents from the period 1953 – 1973 have been “cleaned”, processed, and published for researchers.
