The documents include political and personality profiles of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin that Carter read before the 13-day summit at the presidential retreat.
Carter said today in Atlanta that the documents helped prepare him to negotiate what became the first treaty between the Jewish state of Israel and one of its Arab neighbours.
There also are transcripts of US National Security Council sessions and summaries of key meetings among US officials, Egyptians and Israelis.
