1962 Fort Bragg and Pope AFB Telephone Directory, Folder 1, CLDW 34, Cold War Papers, Military Collection, State Archives of North Carolina, Raleigh, N.C.

The collection is composed of one original 124-page telephone directory for Fort Bragg, N.C., and Pope Air Force Base at Fort Bragg. The directory is dated January 1962. Uniquely, the directory lists all of the military units and divisions stationed at the bases, with their unit command hierarchy listed. There is a yellow pages section consisting of all of the services and installations at Fort Bragg and Pope AFB, including such things as base clothing stores, TV repair shops, beauty shops, base clubs, post chapels, post exchanges, and other such services for service individuals on base. There is most significantly a complete alphabetical listing of all Fort Bragg, Pope AFB, and Kennedy Special Warfare School enlisted personnel, showing their ranks, home or barracks addresses, and military units or base facilities to which the individuals are attached. This is the only-known source for a complete listing of personnel at all of the installations at Fort Bragg, N.C., for 1962.

The collection was donated to the Military Collection at the State Archives of North Carolina by a private donor in January 2018.
