The Education and Research Institute (ERI) is a US tax-exempt nonprofit organization devoted to advancing greater awareness and understanding of America's traditional values. It was founded in 1974. In 1988 ERI founded a subsidiary group, the Center for Security Research to form a centralized collection point for Cold War historical records. Cold War is the state of conflict tension and competition that existed between the United States and the Soviet Union (USSR and their respective allies from the ERI also publishes the ERI Report.
ERI is the only organization currently devoted to putting the entire contents of declassified Cold War intelligence documents up on the Internet. Declassification is the process of documents that formerly were classified becoming available to the public under the principle of Freedom of information. Other groups such as the FBI often make available extracts of files that are considered of particular interest. ERI is thus an important research and public education tool.
