The primary source materials contained in the Fort Hays State University Special Collections’ Cecil B. and Laura G. Currey Archive of Military History have been placed there for research purposes, preservation of the historical record, and as reflections of particular attitudes and policy positions adopted during the period under examination. Because this material contains descriptions of practices and events occurring during the global Cold War, including the implementation of counterinsurgency techniques, execution of covert actions, and commission of war crimes including the use of torture, some items in this collection may be sensitive in nature and may not represent the attitudes, beliefs, or ideas of their creators, persons named in the collection, or the position of Fort Hays State University.
