Margaret Thatcher's 1982 papers released
Margaret Thatcher's 1982 papers and documents have been released and are available online via the Margaret Thatcher Foundation and Churchill College Archives Centre websites.
The year was dominated by the Falklands War, a conflict that defined much of Margaret Thatcher's political career and legacy. These previously unseen personal papers on the war are now being made available.
Other papers being released include: detailed materials on her visit to China later in 1982, with papers on the diplomatic protocol, Mrs Thatcher's clothes for the visit and the choice of menus for the key dinner for the Chinese; political papers outlining key decisions taken during the year; and materials from the Prime Minister's private life at No 10.
