HISTORICAL MATERIALS IN THE DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER LIBRARY
RELATING TO THE KOREAN WAR AND TO UNITED STATES-KOREAN RELATIONS

INTRODUCTION

The Dwight D. Eisenhower Library is well known for its holdings relating to military history in general and the history of World War II in particular because of Eisenhower’s prominent role as Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Europe.  The early history of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is also documented in the Library’s holdings thanks in part to General Eisenhower’s retention in his papers documentation relating to his role as the first Supreme Allied Commander, Europe (SACEUR) in 1951-52 when he played a significant role in planning the defense of Western Europe.  In fact, Eisenhower was primarily involved with European defense matters during the first two years of the Korean War.  Eisenhower’s connection with the Korean War is generally associated with the achievement of an armistice during the seventh month of his presidency.  This last phase of the Korean War is, indeed, documented in depth at the Eisenhower Library.  What may not be well known is that the Eisenhower Library holds important collections that document the early phases of the War and even to a limited extent, its background.  More than 60 collections (over 10% of the Library’s holdings) contain information about the Korean War, its background or immediate aftermath.  Another 30 collections include material regarding post-1954 U.S.-Korean relations with many collections documenting both the war and the years afterwards.

This guide is intended to facilitate research in the Eisenhower Library’s holdings on the Korean War and on United States-Korean relations in general.  Consequently, the guide includes information on Korea dated as early as World War II and as recent as 1969.  The bulk of the documentation falls into two periods however:  the Korean War and immediate aftermath (1950 through 1954) and post Korean War - 1954-1960.  Collections with material falling exclusively after 1954 have been so designated in the guide with the notation:  Post-1954 material only.

Collections listed herein are fully processed and available for research unless indicated otherwise.  Some documents relating to the Korean War and to U.S.- Korean relations afterwards are still security-classified and will be unavailable for research until they can be declassified.  Notations indicating that portions of a given collection are security-classified are normally included with each collection entry.  Documents withdrawn from processed collections because of security-classification are listed on withdrawal sheets that can be used by researchers to identify and request specific documents for declassification review in accordance with the mandatory review provisions of Executive Order 12958.  Most information still classified concerning the Korean War or Korea relates either to intelligence or to military defense and weapons systems.

This guide is intended to supplement but not replace the finding aids currently available for the Library’s many collections.  Because of the widely scattered nature of documentation, however, it should not be considered absolutely definitive and pertinent materials may be found in locations not listed on the guide.  Researchers should still use finding aids in addition to this guide as they may well find headings not included in the guide.  Information on Korea can be found both in logical locations (i.e. file folders entitled "Korea" or "Korean War") and in less clearly identified places such as, for example, within chronologically arranged file series or under broad headings such as "Asia", "Far East" or "Military Assistance".

While the Library holds rich documentation on the Korean War including materials many might not expect to find here, its holdings do have limitations.  For example, Dwight Eisenhower’s presidential files contain little on casualty reporting; consequently accurate information on casualties must be sought elsewhere.  No records were apparently kept for many meetings held in the White House in 1953 and on President-elect Eisenhower’s trip to Korea in December 1952.  The Library holds no records of daily intelligence briefings given the President during this period.  The Military Liaison Officer during this period, Paul T. Carroll, who undoubtedly dealt with many Korean War related matters, left little in the way of records.  Please also remember, these files record the United States Government’s actions and policies but one must look elsewhere for documentation on the intentions and plans of the leaders of the North Korean, Chinese and Soviet governments.  (As an example, one can find in the Library a paper trail documenting Dwight Eisenhower’s actions and thoughts regarding the achievement of the Korean armistice.  What is not shown here is what the North Korean, Chinese and Soviet leaders actually thought about Eisenhower’s actions.  Thus the picture is one-sided.)  In spite of these limitations, the Library’s  holdings contain much documentation to support research on the Korean War and on U.S.-Korean relations.  It is hoped that this guide can help users find their way through the millions of pages of documents as they search for nuggets of information.

 For further information about information relating to the Korean War, U.S.-Korean relations or other topics, please contact the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library staff. The address is:

EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.:  Papers, Pre-Presidential, 1916-1952.  A few months after the outbreak of hostilities in Korea, President Truman designated General Eisenhower to be the first commander of NATO ground and air forces with the title Supreme Allied Commander, Europe (SACEUR).  Although his papers for the Korean War period emphasize his duties in Europe, they do contain correspondence regarding the Korean War.  A select list of folders known to contain pertinent information follows:

EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.:  Papers as President (Ann Whitman File) 1952-1961. This high level body of presidential papers contains documents originated or seen by the President or that reflect his participation in meetings.  Material on most major issues of the Eisenhower Presidency can be found here.  Many series focus heavily on foreign and national security policies and include heads of state correspondence, summaries of National Security Council discussions, correspondence with Cabinet and other Administration officials, minutes of Cabinet meetings, diary entries and reports.  This is an important source for studying the last phase of the Korean War and for post-armistice U.S.-Korean relations.  Some materials remain security classified as of June 2000.

K.  NSC Series  This is one of the most important series in Dwight Eisenhower's Papers for studying overall foreign and national security policy.  The series consists of Records of NSC Actions in boxes 1-3 that are cut and dried records indicating decisions made with detailed summaries of NSC discussions found in Boxes 4-13.  There are occasional briefing notes or other documents related to NSC discussion items found in this series as well.  Many , but by no means all, of the NSC Summaries of Discussion (SODs) are printed in the Department of State's Foreign Relations of the United States Series.  Because individual SODs often covered several different geographical and functional topics, one may find parts of some SODs printed in a number of the FRUS volumes.  To help users sort this out, a volunteer checked each SOD with the FRUS volumes and inserted sheets indicating which agenda items were printed in which volumes and if so, indicated if printed in full or in part.  If not found at all, the sheets indicate that as well.  One point to remember, many SODs were printed in FRUS volumes published during the 1980s or early 1990s.  Some of these documents were denied publication, at least in part.  Within the last few years previously denied information has been released so users should check each SOD carefully.  This is certainly true for the discussions of Korea in 1953.  Some information in this series remains security classified as of June 2000.
