The Cecil Papers provides online access to a collection of Tudor and early Stuart documents, principally from the reigns of Elizabethan I and James I/VI, privately held by the Gascoyne-Cecil family at Hatfield House in Hertfordshire. The resource contains nearly 30,000 documents gathered by William Cecil (1521-98), Lord Burghley and his son Robert Cecil (1563-1612), First Earl of Salisbury. These important statesmen were Lord High Treasurer and Secretary of State serving Elizabeth I and then James I. The collection includes many 16th and 17th century state papers, grants from the Crown, legal documents, treaties, correspondence, and political memoranda.

Module II covers the years 1961 to 1966, and consists of over 3,300 files sourced entirely from The National Archives series FO 371. Every file from this series relevant to the former socialist states of Eastern Europe dated between 1961 and 1966 has been included.

The first half of the 1960s witnessed a series of international crises and realignments as Cold War tensions heightened, including the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Sino-Soviet split, and the construction of the Berlin Wall, which solidified the divide between East and West. Module II provides insight into all of these major international events and more, in addition to in-depth coverage of life behind the Iron Curtain in a period of economic reform, space travel, and the rise to power of Brezhnev and Ceauşescu.

Key events featured in the files of Module II include:

The building of the Berlin Wall and escape attempts from East Berlin
Yurii Gagarin’s orbit of the earth
Detonation of the "Tsar Bomba"
John F. Kennedy’s "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech
