WWII and the American Home Front, Vol 2

NCPH is pleased to announce the publication of World War II and the American Home Front, Volume 2.  This update to the 2007 World War II and the American Home Front Theme Study was produced under a cooperative agreement between NCPH and the National Park Service and was led by Principle Investigator Dr. Matt Basso at University of Utah.

This National Historic Landmark (NHL) Theme Study covers the environmental, Native American and Indigenous, Latino, LGBTQ, and disability history of the home front. Along with chapters on each of these topics, it also offers NHL guidelines and a Study List of home front properties. Public historians and others may find the chapters of this and the original volume, both of which are open access, useful for teaching and other pursuits.

NCPH extends our deepest thanks to Dr. Basso, NPS staff, and the many research assistants and scholars who contributed to this work.
