French Military & Civilian Collection
A research collection curated by one of our librarians, Annick Houzé, has been added to ScholarsArchive! This fascinating collection consists of French photographs depicting civilian and military life covering the time periods from 1860 to 1954. Documents, both military and civilian, will soon be added to the collection, along with French transcriptions. The project director is Becky McKown and transcriptions and translations are written by Mark Burtenshaw. Click here to explore the collection.
