The Opening the Archives Project is a joint effort by Brown University and the Universidade Estadual de Maringá, Paraná, Brazil to digitize and index 10,000 U.S. State Department documents on Brazil from 1963-73 and make them available to the public on an open-access website.

The Opening the Archives Project is an ambitious undertaking organized by Brown University and the Universidade Estadual de Maringá, Paraná, Brazil to systematically digitize and index thousands of declassified documents in the U.S. State Department archives related to Brazil from 1960 to 1980, and to make them available on mirror websites at both universities. These websites will also feature several thousand pages of CIA intelligence reports previously available exclusively at the National Archives II facility in College Park, MD.
To accomplish this task, the Opening the Archives Project partnered with the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), the Brazilian Arquivo Nacional, and the National Security Archive at George Washington University in a joint effort to preserve crucial documentation by creating digital copies accessible online.
During the summer of 2013, a team of undergraduates from Brown University and the Universidade Estadual de Maringá scanned 9,872 U.S. State Department documents on Brazil produced between 1963 and 1973, about half of NARA’s holdings for the period under consideration. The period from 1964 to 1969 was especially turbulent and historically significant in twentieth-century Brazilian history. For that reason, the Opening the Archives Project decided to concentrate on this particular five-year time span for the first phase of operations.
This project, with the critical support of the Brown University Libraries, will substantially increase open access to an important source of primary documents, facilitating the reconstruction of the history of U.S.-Brazil relations from 1960 to 1980 for researchers around the world. The Opening the Archives Project reflects Brown’s deep academic commitment to Brazil and to building close long-term collaborations with Brazilian partners while strengthening the university’s goal of becoming a leading center for the study of Brazil in the United States.
