Brief Description:

The Vietnam Archive houses a rapidly growing collection of original documents, published and unpublished works, and microfilm research collections relating to Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.

Full Description:

Types of material include documents, photographs, slides, negatives, oral histories, artifacts, moving images, sound recordings, maps, and collection finding aids. All non-copyrighted and digitized materials are available for users to download. The bulk of the holdings of the Vietnam Archive tend to be more personal in nature - personal photographs, letters home, etc. While there are some official records, particularly from the USMC, these are generally copies kept and donated to us by veterans or researchers of the war. The official records of the war are housed in the National Archives, with copies in some of the military branches' history museums. In addition to the resources available through the Vietnam Archive and the Virtual Archive, reference databases that provide general information regarding Vietnam and the Vietnam War are being added.
