Central Intelligence Agency. Studies in Intelligence: Website Index, 2006. 94 pages. https://www.odci.gov/csi/kent_csi/author-combine.htm

"Studies in Intelligence" is the CIA's internal semi-academic journal. This index was found on the web in June, 2006. The annotated index entries at that site are linked to full-text versions of each article. The "csi" in the above URL stands for the Center for the Study of Intelligence at CIA, which "seeks to promote the study, debate, and understanding of the role of intelligence in American society." Judging from the annotations, the articles are autobiographical annecdotes, techniques for collection and evaluation of intelligence, reflections on tradecraft, and essays on specific incidents in the history of U.S. intelligence.

The NameBase data is simply a name index of the CSI's index, with the pagination assigned by us as we printed a copy for our library. Multiple page listings from this source are mostly due to cross-referencing in the CSI index, although some authors have also contributed multiple articles. To find out more about a name from this index, researchers can go directly to the CIA's site and retrieve the relevant article. An unannotated index of "Studies in Intelligence" was also made available by the National Archives years ago, and covers the period 1955-1992. Although that one remains in NameBase, it is probably not needed, since this new index covers 1955-2004 and apparently includes everything from the old index.
