A separate section was created in March 2006 to house files pertaining directly to the World Affairs Council's International Month. It is unclear from the research done thus far when exactly this program began; however, there are records available in this collection from 1980, 1981, and 1982. This program is an off shoot of the International Week and embraces many of the same goals and dimensions. International Month is a month-long focus on a particular country and promotes the nation's culture, politics, and history through lectures, forums, art exhibits, etc. Items found in these files include correspondences, articles, photographs, speaker information, publicity, etc. Folders in this section are organized in chronologically by year and then alphabetically by topic.
