World War II-era U.S. Government Publications
by Jeremy at 10:07 pm EST, Nov 9, 2001

Summary/Review from The Scout Report:

This new site from Southern Methodist University (SMU) features just over 200 government documents from World War II. Plans are to enhance the database to approximately double its size by May, when 300-500 documents will be included. Users can either view the documents in a simple list (sortable by title, author, or publication date) or perform a fielded search (title, author, subject, or keyword). Advanced searches allow for boolean operators and additional fields (series, SuDoc number, and publisher information). Results provide cataloging information, links to lists of other titles by the same subject and agency, an image of the document's cover, and a link to the document itself (.pdf). While it might be nice if the site offered more of a guided browse by subject option, this is nonetheless a nice collection of archival material that should be welcomed by historians in a variety of fields or general readers with an interest in World War II. The project documentation section, which includes, among other things, cataloging guidelines and information on catalog configuration, should be useful to users working on similar Web archives. Rounding out the site are an Other Resources section, which offers half a dozen annotated links, and a link to SMU's World War II Memorial Plaza.
