Hoover Institution, Research think tank at Stanford University, United States
The Hoover Institution is a research center on the Stanford University campus in California. The facility includes archive rooms, a library, and offices for scholars working on international questions.
A former president founded this facility after World War I to collect documents about the conflict. Over the decades, the collection grew and research topics broadened to cover worldwide developments.
The building carries the name of a US president and now hosts researchers who work on economics and politics. Walking through the halls, you see offices and reading rooms where analysts and scholars prepare studies.
Anyone wishing to use the archives and library should book an appointment in advance, as access is limited. The rooms are open on weekdays and located in the tower on the university campus.
The archives hold tens of thousands of posters and photographs from the Russian Revolution, a collection unmatched outside Russia. Many of these materials came from private hands and made their way abroad after the end of the tsarist empire.
