El Salvador Research Guide

At the Archives our collections have many strengths. One of these strengths is the coverage of El Salvador and its civil war during the 1980s and 1990s. You might be surprised that you can find archival information about a small Central American country here at the Archives but Congressman Joe Moakley, who worked closely with Salvadorans and Salvadoran refugees during the 1980s and 1990s, donated his personal papers to the Archives in 2001. Since a substantial portion of his papers deal with his work in, with and for El Salvador, we have created a research guide to help you navigate directly to the primary and secondary resources we have or have identified in other places.
