Dear list:
A few months back, there was an exchange on this list regarding collections of press releases published by the Vietnam Presse (the South Vietnamese official news agency) during the RVN period. I now have a related question: does anyone know whether the VP archive—that is, the agency’s own records and materials, both published and unpublished—has been preserved somewhere? Perhaps it would be under the administrative control of the current Vietnam News Agency? It occurs to me that such an archive, if it is extant, would have a great many materials that would be of interest to scholars working on the 1950-1975 period. Thanks in advance for any information or advice you can offer,
Ed Miller

This does not directly answer your question, but the Indochina Center files of UC Berkeley includes 13 1/2 office-sized file cabinet drawers of mostly news clippings on the RVN. I imagine there would be many RVN press releases in this section. For a breakdown of the collection see:

These files were brought to Berkeley by Douglas Pike. In recent years the collection has been closed to the public, due to lack of funding, and the future status and destination of these files is unknown to me.
