Office of the Historian
The Office of the Historian is an office of the United States Department of State within the Bureau of Public Affairs. The Office is responsible, under law, for the preparation and publication of the official historical documentary record of U.S. foreign policy in the Foreign Relations of the United States series. It researches and writes historical studies on aspects of U.S. diplomacy for use by policymakers in the Department and in other agencies as well for the public.
The office also makes recommendations to other bureaus regarding the identification, maintenance, and long-term preservation of important historical diplomatic records. Its outreach activities include participating in the planning and installation of the historical components of the planned United States Center for Diplomacy in the Department, counseling private scholars and journalists on historical research issues, and responding to government and public inquiries on diplomatic history questions.

The Historian
The Historian is the 2005 debut novel of American author Elizabeth Kostova. The plot blends the history and folklore of Vlad Țepeș and his fictional equivalent Count Dracula. Kostova's father told her stories about Dracula when she was a child, and later in life she was inspired to turn the experience into a novel. She worked on the book for ten years and then sold it within a few months to Little, Brown and Company, which bought it for US$2 million.
The Historian has been described as a combination of genres, including Gothic novel, adventure novel, detective fiction, travelogue, postmodern historical novel, epistolary epic, and historical thriller. Kostova was intent on writing a serious work of literature and saw herself as an inheritor of the Victorian style. Although based in part on Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Historian is not a horror novel, but rather an eerie tale. It is concerned with history's role in society and representation in books, as well as the nature of good and evil. As Kostova explains, "Dracula is a metaphor for the evil that is so hard to undo in history." The evils brought about by religious conflict are a particular theme, and the novel explores the relationship between the Christian West and the Islamic East.

Join MNHS Senior Public Historian Dr. Chantel Rodriguez in a conversation with Dr. Christopher Lehman about the detective work of historical research.
Lehman’s current research is on the life and legacy of Eliza Winston, an enslaved woman brought to Minnesota in 1860 who famously won her freedom in a contentious court decision.
Little is known about Winston outside of her brief time in Minnesota, but in a forthcoming book with MNHS Press, historian Christopher Lehman aims to change that.
In this program, Lehman and Rodriguez discuss the challenges of navigating and interpreting a historical record that was never designed to document the lives of people like Winston.
Christopher P. Lehman is a professor of Ethnic Studies at St. Cloud State University. His book Slavery’s Reach: Southern Slaveholders in the North Star State (available from MNHS Press) won the Minnesota Book Award in the Minnesota Nonfiction category in 2020.
Made possible by the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the vote of Minnesotans on Nov. 4, 2008. Administered by the Minnesota Historical Society.

Joshua Botts, from the State Department’s Office of the Historian, will deliver a presentation on the history of the Foreign Relations series, which began in 1861 under Abraham Lincoln's Secretary of State William H. Seward. The Foreign Relations series is the United States Government’s official documentary history of the U.S. foreign policy decision-making and significant diplomatic activity. His talk will discuss how the changing mission and scope of the series inspired stakeholders throughout the U.S. Government to continually revisit the standards and procedures used to balance security and transparency in published volumes. This presentation will be of interest to anyone interested in government transparency and diplomatic history.

Aaron Marrs is a historian at the Policy Studies Division in the US Department of State. He describes his work this way: “Research and writing is at the heart of what I do every day.” How did he get this job? He deployed a little thing we like to call “intellectual self-confidence.” Listen to the interview to hear more about his federal career and how he got there.

Since the founding of the republic, America’s leaders have pondered the question of federalism and the proper divide between national and local government regarding such thorny matters as infrastructure, healthcare financing, and education.
Michael Boskin, the Hoover Institution’s Wohlford Family Senior Fellow and former chair of the White House’s Council of Economic Advisers, discusses "American Federalism Today: Perspectives on Political and Economic Governance", a newly released book he edited based on the findings from a November 2023 Hoover conference on federalism. Boskin explains the urgent need for policy reforms (government waste in particular), plus what makes for effective government commissions (Boskin chaired a federal commission on the Consumer Price Index in the mid-1990’s).
Recorded on September 16, 2024.

Heinrich Himmler sent his SS solders to locate a treasure so valuable to Nazi ideology that it must be recovered at all costs. The item they are searching for is an ancient manuscript, a perfect copy of a book written nearly two thousand years before in Rome which the Nazis call the birth certificate for the German race. The book is known as the Germania; for the Nazis it is the "Book of Power".

Join MNHS Senior Public Historian Dr. Chantel Rodriguez in a conversation with Dr. Christopher Lehman about the detective work of historical research.
Lehman’s current research is on the life and legacy of Eliza Winston, an enslaved woman brought to Minnesota in 1860 who famously won her freedom in a contentious court decision.
Little is known about Winston outside of her brief time in Minnesota, but in a forthcoming book with MNHS Press, historian Christopher Lehman aims to change that.
In this program, Lehman and Rodriguez discuss the challenges of navigating and interpreting a historical record that was never designed to document the lives of people like Winston.
Christopher P. Lehman is a professor of Ethnic Studies at St. Cloud State University. His book Slavery’s Reach: Southern Slaveholders in the North Star State (available from MNHS Press) won the Minnesota Book Award in the Minnesota Nonfiction category in 2020.
Made possible by the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the vote of Minnesotans on Nov. 4, 2008. Administered by the Minnesota Historical Society.
