UNCLASSIFIED: Preserving Westmoreland’s Vietnam

This project aims to assist the LBJ Presidential library with the preservation needs of a legacy collection, The Capital Legal Foundation Papers, in preparing the collection for long-term housing and public use by the research community. The collection consists of the litigation material generated from a 1984 libel suit brought by General William C. Westmoreland against four CBS employees associated with a Vietnam documentary titled “The Uncounted Enemy – A Vietnam Deception.” This project addresses preservation needs for paper-based materials, removes classified language, and updates the finding aid to incorporate over 50 boxes of newly processed materials.
