Let's face it; we're librarians. We love history, we're big fans of digital libraries...and we have a somewhat unnatural fondness for government documents. So we were delighted to discover this particular time sink collection, which we felt you might enjoy as well.
We especially like the fact that you can either click through to browse each document page by page, or download the entire item as a PDF, for closer examination and/or printing at your leisure. A text box for a quick keyword search is available on the home page. More extensive search options allow you to restrict your search field -- e.g., title, author, etc. Or you can build your own search, with boolean operators. Extensive help is available.
You'll also find a link to the Melvin C. Shaffer Collection of World War II-vintage photos, of North Africa (1943), Germany (1945), and Italy and Southern France (1944 - 1945). You can browse or search; options are presented as links at the bottom of this page of biographical information about Schaffer, who had a long career as a medical photographer.
