Abstract

Kudos to Lyonette Louis-Jacques, the Foreign and International Law Librarian & Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago D’Angelo Law Library, for making me aware of this month’s first site — Nixontapes.org — via one of her Twitter posts. This site contains transcripts and mp3 files of Nixon tapes made between February 1971 and July 1973 (approximately 2,150 hours and 6,000 audio files). Also included are the NARA-created tape logs and time codes, the president’s daily diary, and pertinent information about each conversation. Topics include discussions of the Watergate affair, conversations with advisers (mainly Henry Kissinger), visits to China, and domestic and foreign policy, including the Vietnam war.
