The Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations (SHAFR) has created an exciting, comprehensive 2.1 million-word online annotated bibliography covering the entire span of U.S. foreign relations.

The Guide’s thirty chapters cover all eras in U.S. history from colonial days through the Barack Obama presidency—as well as all geographical areas of the world.

The latest edition includes thematic chapters on economic issues; non-governmental actors; domestic issues, the Congress, and public opinion; and race, gender, and culture. Entries include every type of historical source, from collections of government documents to biographies, monographs, book chapters, journal articles, and web sites.
