The University of California, Los Angeles's International Studies and Overseas Program (ISOP) formally began in 1958 as the
Institute of International and Foreign Studies (IIFP). It's founding functions were to promote international interdisciplinary
studies, and to serve as a liaison for government, international agencies, and international dignitaries and visitors to the
university. ISOP oversaw programs that sent students to such places as Brazil, Chile, Iran, Nigeria, Japan, Argentina, China,
Columbia, Ghana, Peru, and Puerto Rico. Additionally, ISOP oversaw a Peace Corps program at UCLA.
Record Series 158 contains administrative files generated by UCLA's International Studies and Overseas Programs between 1956-1986.
