The history of the Peace Corps can be found in the hearts and minds of people all over the world. It abounds in books and blogs, oral histories, letters, journals, and stories we tell each other. My focus is on one small part of this history: the public records of the Peace Corps. I hope to share what I have found about these records and what I couldn’t find. I welcome comments, corrections, and suggestions. — Joanne
