You will find MANY Cold War images online. A word of caution: take care to note where you are getting the image from. Images can be altered or forged, so you should know where it is coming from, who created it, and go to a reputable source. These generally include universities, museums, and research centers. Or, if you find something on a blog or website, note where it came from and try to track down the original image. Below are numerous collections available online.

IN ADDITION to images, you should also find additional primary sources related to your image.
