Legacy
"These materials certainly provide fresh insight into practical implications regarding war crimes... The Donovan collection is as much a resource for participants in the emerging field of intelligence studies as it is a hunting ground for legal researchers such as historians of war crimes trials."
The Donovan Collection plays an important role in recording the past, but its greatest value lies in its ability to inform and shape today's events. The Cornell CyberTower video, "Wild Bill" Donovan's Nuremberg Legacy, explores the impact of the collection throughout the world. Navigate the links below to learn more.
Visit the Collection Description page to read about the history and contents of the Donovan Nuremberg Trials Collection. We encourage you to explore these exciting materials by searching and browsing the entire collection.
