Guide to Foreign Relations Materials At the Kansas State Historical Society, Topeka, Kansas. This guide summarizes those manuscripts and state archives collections containing materials related to U. S. foreign relations, international politics, and foreign affairs that are currently in the possession of the Kansas State Historical Society. The manuscripts collection contains the unpublished papers of individuals, businesses and organizations, and includes the congressional records of many former U. S. senators and representatives. The Kansas State Archives holds the non-active records of state government, including the records of most Kansas governors.

The guide is intended to embrace “foreign relations” in its broadest sense. The collections cited include materials on relations between American and foreign individuals and businesses in addition to relations between U.S. and foreign governments. The guide also includes materials on past and present U.S. territories, foreign nationals living within the United States, and domestic affairs that have influenced or reflected U.S. foreign policy.
