National Museum of the Pacific War Digital Archive

The Digital Archive presents digitized collections from the Center for Pacific War Studies collections at the National Museum of the Pacific War. Collections and material are continuously being added and represent only a small portion of the archives' physical holdings.

In addition to oral histories, the Center holds thousands of manuscripts, official documents, and photographs. Digitization efforts of our extensive holdings continue today. As collections are digitized and prepared for access, they will be added to our digital collections.
