The Truman Doctrine

This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Truman Doctrine. Featured on our website is a collection of digitized materials related to the Truman Doctrine. We have also provided a link to the digital collections online in the National Archives catalog.

The Harry S. Truman Presidential Library & Museum was established to preserve the papers, books, and other historical materials relating to former President Harry S. Truman and to make them available to the people in a place suitable for exhibit and research. Consistently ranked among the top tourism destinations in the Kansas City region, no visit to America's heartland is complete without a trip to the Harry S. Truman Library & Museum.
