SMU has published two other digital collections of World War II materials: Historic Government Publications from World War II, and Melvin C. Shaffer  World War II Photographs.

Frank J. Davis supplied basic captions and descriptions for the images. Melvin C. Shaffer supplied additional descriptive information for some of the images as well.

If you know more about the people, places and events depicted in these images, contact us at ncds@smu.edu.

The images displayed in this collection were scanned at SMU (24-bit color, 600 or 3200 dpi) and saved as non-compressed TIFFs. Minor edits were made in the files, i.e. the digital images were cropped, rotated, cleaned up, and fine-tuned (color correction; brightness / contrast adjustment, etc.).
