Summary note

Digitized version of microfilm collection comprising a portion of the State Department's Central Files relating to U.S.-Brazilian relations between 1945 and 1959. The State Department's Central Files contain all instructions sent to and all correspondence received from diplomatic posts abroad by the Department of State. In addition, most of the State Department's internal documentation, as well as correspondence between the Department and other federal departments and agencies, Congress, and private individuals and organizations are included in the Central Files. The records in this collection include: telegrams, airgrams, instructions, inquiries, studies, memoranda, situation reports, translations, special reports, plans, and official and unofficial correspondence. These documents illuminate Brazil's relations with the U.S. Because of the broad scope of these records, they both supplement and complement the coverage offered by the Department of State's own Foreign Relations of the United States series.
