The Perlin Papers, are a collection of over 200,000 items, gift of Robert and Michael Meeropol, sons of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. The papers were acquired by Marshall Perlin acting under provisions of the Freedom of Information Act. His efforts produced copies of FBI files on 90 persons and two organizations under government surveillance during the Cold War. There are also files from the Atomic Energy Commission, the State Department, and the U.S. District Attorney's office as they relate to the Rosenberg case. Since the 1970's Perlin continued to request more FBI documents to be added to this collection.
