The Wilson Center’s History and Public Policy blog published reflections from six students in Elidor Mëhilli’s Spring 2023 “Eastern Europe’s Cold War” class about using the Wilson Center’s Digital Archive in their work. The piece includes an introduction by Professor Mëhilli, where he discusses the importance of centering Eastern Europe in Cold War histories.

The students explored a set of 20 documents from the archives of the Party of Labor of Albania, which include transcripts of meetings with high-level Chinese Communist Party officials.
