University of Helsinki
Researchers and students of the University of Helsinki can now permanently access Secret Files from World Wars to Cold War, a rich resource containing British government secret intelligence and foreign policy files from 1873–1953. The majority of over 144,000 pages of content dates from the 1930s and 1940s. Spanning four key twentieth century conflicts, with a spotlight on the Second World War, the material enables research into intelligence, foreign policy, international relations, and military history in the period of Appeasement, through the Second World War, and into the early Cold War.

In Advanced Search, you can refine your search by theme, region, document date or document type. By creating an account (My Archive), you can save searches and create reading list for later use. Help videos guide you through the key features!
