François Duchêne in the course of his research copied extracts of the David Bruce Diaries, mainly on the EDC, from May 1949-Aug 1954. Most of these extracts are already available in the archive in the Fond:JMAS, Sub-fond: Virginia Historical Archive, where there exists a virtually complete set of copies of the David Bruce Diary from May 1949 to December 1954. Therefore in this section I have maintained those parts of the diary that are not available in JMAS. David Bruce played an important role pushing to French ratification of the EDC Treaty in his capacity as US Representative to the ECSC with responsibility for following the progress on the EDC and EPC Treaties.

The originals are held in various Archives in Europe and in the USA
