Collection Overview
The collection is composed of 109 original, copied, and mass-printed maps documenting
World War II. Some of the maps also document aspects of the North Carolina home front
during the war. Most of these maps were collected by the North Carolina Department
of Archives and History during the their World War II war records project from 1942
to 1947. A number of the maps in this collection were removed from the North Carolina
Office of Civilian Defense Records due to their size, and relocated to this collection.
A large number of the maps were removed from individual veterans or donors' collections
in the WWII Papers, to be stored together due to their size in the WWII Maps Collection.
Each map is numbered individually, and is abbreviated "MilColl.WWII.Maps.[with the
map numbere here]."
