When Pearl Harbor was bombed on December 7, 1941, the United States was thrust into war on two fronts. The actions of all Americans came to be viewed in terms of winning the war. Everyone was expected to do their part to ensure victory, whether you were a soldier fighting on the front lines, a factory worker making munitions, or a private citizen buying War Bonds.
The World War II Digital Collection is a unique collection, that is comprised of two main types of material: traditional primary and secondary source items, such as documents, letters, photos, and other ephemera, from the Pacific, and European theatres, and video clips of contemporary interviews with veterans and/or their families which were conducted by the Special Collections Department of Gee Library. Many of the stories told during the interviews have never been previously recorded. Some of the items featured in the collection are housed at James G. Gee Library on the campus of Texas A&M University-Commerce, but most are in the private collections of veterans and their families.
