Northeastern serves as host institution for Oklahoma War Archive

Published: 2004-10-29

(TAHLEQUAH, OK) - Northeastern State University will serve as the host institution for a new archive of war-related materials contributed by veterans from Oklahoma. The archive will collect memoirs, letters, journals, memorabilia, books and other materials from all wars in which Oklahomans have participated and act as a depository for these materials which can be accessed by scholars, veterans and the general public. The University is currently seeking submissions and volunteers to help establish the collection.

"We hope to tell the real truth about war through the memoirs of Oklahomans who have served in wartime," said Dr. Sharon Winn, NSU professor and director of the archive project.

According to Winn, project leaders are particularly interested in the memoirs of enlisted personnel and junior officers as material is readily available about higher ranking officers. In addition, submissions from families detailing their experiences during the war and how they coped with returning veterans are of particular interest.

"Though we will have books and published materials, we hope to collect new materials, so that the service of individual Oklahomans will be remembered," said Winn.

Those wishing to conduct research or simply view the collection will be able to access much the archival material online. Materials for genealogists will also be available. Archive plans include the creation of two online journals, one for the memoirs of veterans and one for the scholarly study of war. The website will also include graphics covering various aspects of war, uniforms, campaigns, and links to other war-related sites.

Members of the project advisory board include: Dr. Winn (Director), Tony Oseland, U.S. Navy (Managing Director), Tommye L. Hart, USMC, Rohn Munn,
U.S. Army 101st Airborne Special Forces, Dan Dayringer, U.S. Coast Guard, Rick Conley, U.S. Army, and Jake Chanate, U.S. Army Airborne Rangers.
