Guide to Radio Free Europe and
Radio Liberty Publications

Radio Free Europe (RFE) and Radio Liberty (RL) monitored Communist activities worldwide, especially in Central and Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. RFE/RL is now a non-profit news source that focuses on events in Eastern and Central Europe, and in the former Soviet Union. RFE/RL broadcasts news and analyses to the peoples of these countries in their own languages -- information that is free from censorship or state control. A related organization, Open Media Research Institute (OMRI), is dedicated to the study of the former Soviet Union and Central and Eastern Europe.

The Government Publications Library has the RFE/RL archival microfiche collection which roughly covers 1953 through 1989/90. Indexing of the collection is poor. Major access points to the collection are by region or country and by series title. Within each series, documents are arranged by date. Researchers looking for information on specific events need to examine documents within series by the approximate date of the event.
