^{An Anecdoted Archive from the Cold War (1993) is an interactive CDROM installation project which features Central European personal and official Communist material from the 1950's, in the form of home movies, video footage, family documents, money, news reports, identity cards, and other items from a collection Legrady gathered during the past twenty years. The Anecdoted Archive reflects his own particular history in relation to the Cold War. Born in Budapest in 1950 near the end of the Stalin era, George Legrady left with his family for the West during the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.}
 

^{GLO How did you come up with the idea of putting your collection of Cold War items on a CD-rom? GLE I didn't want to carry all the material in my head anymore. All these objects, film footage, images, stories needed to be contextualized and brought together into a concrete form so that they could exist on their own and be made accessible to a viewing audience. GLO Did you have examples before you started? GLE I had three references when I began the CD-rom. The first was the Worker's Movement Museum up in the castle in Budapest, which of course has now been packed away. I was interested in going there in the early eighties because to me it was extremely visible in terms of its fictional narratives. You saw representations of a worker's living room before and after communism; I enjoyed these comparative narratives. I used the museum's floor plan in my archive to situate all of my stories, both personal and official as a way of interacting with that history. I have also included original material from that museum which I documented in 1983.}
