One of the awards from the Cornell Library's Grants Program for Digital Collections in Arts and Sciences (DCAPS) helped digitize a portion of the archive of the Institute for Defense and Disarmament Studies and the papers of the late Randall Forsberg. Matthew Evangelista, professor of government, Agnieszka Nimark, a visiting scholar at the Reppy Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies, and Judith Reppy, professor emerita of science and technology studies were instrumental in this project.

The core of the project consists of archival materials of the Institute for Defense and Disarmament Studies (IDDS), founded and run by Dr. Randall (Randy) Caroline Forsberg from 1980 until her untimely death in 2007; supplemented by materials in the personal collections of Matthew Evangelista, Judith Reppy, and other colleagues who have donated relevant items. The materials represent a sampling of a larger archive held at the Cornell University Library’s Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections.
