An online archive that provides access to digitized full-text historical newspapers from around the state.

Digitized from the extensive collections held by The National WWII Museum, New Orleans, this database contains oral histories, correspondence, diaries, photographs, artifacts, and military records from military personnel in the army, navy and air force, to the marines, merchant marines, coast guard, women?s forces and medical personnel involved in all major theaters of operations. From enlistment and training to deployment on the US home front or on campaigns overseas, the personal stories of these men and women demonstrate the broad spectrum of American involvement in the conflict and how the war changed American society and the economy, how it impacted individuals and their families, and the legacy of the war in human terms.
