[SIGCIS-Members] de/classification of US government archives re sci/technology

[Sharon Traweek]

Hi,
I would appreciate references to any scholarly studies focused 
specifically on the opening of US cold war government archives of 
classified  [secret] research in the sciences and engineering fields. I 
have searched for a review article on this topic, including the changing 
US government strategies for de/classification, but have not found one. 
That is, I am looking for research on the history of the de/classification 
process at US government archives 1945 to the present and public access to 
such materials concerning science and technology. I am aware of passages 
on this topic distributed in various histories of particular cold war 
sciences and technologies and in some histories and legal studies of the 
US Freedom of Information Act of 1966 and the relevant Presidential 
Executive Orders [12958/13292/13526] on this topic issued since 1995.
Cordially,
Sharon Traweek, UCLA
