Information Resource Center

The Information Resource Center (IRC) provides access to comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date information on U.S society, foreign/security policy, economic affairs, political processes, and culture.

IRC Resources
IRC resources are intended to meet the needs of government officials, journalists, researchers and others with professional level interest in the United States and related subjects. Electronic and print resources range from general reference materials to specialized collections of government documents and related material on international relations, the U.S. economy and contemporary American politics and society.

Research Assistance
IRC resources are available by appointment only. Users are encouraged to contact the IRC in advance to discuss their query with reference staff. Research appointments can be arranged by contacting the IRC by email: irchamburg@state.gov.

In cooperation with the Amerikazentrum Hamburg e.V. the IRC offers Internet workshops to members of educational institutions. Please consult the homepage of the Amerikastudiengruppe at the Amerikazentrum Hamburg for dates of courses.
