Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training

The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training (ADST) is an independent nonprofit organization founded in 1986. Located at the State Department’s George P. Shultz National Foreign Affairs Training Center in Arlington, Virginia, ADST’s mission is to capture, preserve, and share the experiences of America’s diplomats to enrich the professional knowledge of practitioners and strengthen public appreciation of diplomacy’s contribution to America’s security. It achieves this mission by recording the oral histories of diplomatic practitioners, helping them prepare and publish books and memoirs, contributing to the development of case studies, supporting the work of the Foreign Service Institute, and taking educational programs to citizens of all ages.

Over the past quarter century ADST has completed more than 2,000 recordings that may be of particular interest to researchers of international history. To see more about this initiative, pleas visit ADST.

The National Coalition for History

SHAFR was a member organization of the National Coalition for History (NCH) until its dissolution in 2024. NCH was an umbrella group that represented a range of U.S. organizations and institutions committed to historical research, interpretation, and education. Among its many activities, the NCH had supported access to and the preservation of U.S. government records. To learn more about NCH, and to view NCH in Perspectives on History and NCH annual reports, please visit National Coalition for History.
