If I was working in Cold War history right now, I’d be inclined to download as much as possible from the post 1960 FRUS, The Wilson Center, the CIA Reading Room, the Presidential Libraries, the DOE OpenNet, etc.

Is there a concerted effort to organize mass downloads and hosting of document collections that are currently digitized on federal websites? @shafrhistorians.bsky.social @historians.org @oah.org

A month ago I said download documents while you can. Get your FRUS documents now, because there is no reason to believe the Historical Office isn’t next.

Using Tariffs to Try to Annex Canada Backfired in the 1890s
Instead of compelling Canada to become an American state, the 1890 McKinley Tariff drove Canada into British hands.
“The push to make Canada part of the U.S. reached a fever pitch following passage of the highly protectionist McKinley Tariff in 1890.”
For @time.com I discuss the last time the GOP tried to use tariffs to annex Canada.
*spoiler: it didn’t go well

The way things are going, I’m thinking Chris Rufo for education secretary, or Dinesh D’Souza….
