Scope and Contents of the Materials

This is an artificial collection created to provide access to materials that were acquired primarily because of their relationship to the Vietnam War. Rather than create a number of small collections, especially where only one document or letter constitutes the entire collection, we have chosen to bring them together as a subject oriented artificial collection.

This collection currently includes a bound volume of The Army Reporter for the year 1967, as well as samples of Vietnamese propaganda and information about Vietnam distributed to the American troops. Other materials will be added as acquired.
