In honor of Veterans Day, UNCP's Mary Livermore Library held a presentation about Robeson Co in WWII

In honor of Veterans Day, UNC Pembroke's Mary Livermore Library held a presentation about Robeson County in the 2nd World War. This event featured a discussion on the newest collection that the library has digitized, and a clip from a documentary “Far from Home Documentary". The library has a 45 page collection which features scrapbook collections of many of our ancestors with newspaper articles during their service time in World War II. The collection also includes War Records of Robeson County Indians. Both are under the Robeson County and Second World War Link from the UNCP Special Collections and Archives Digital Collections at UNC Pembroke Livermore Library. Each page allows you to expand the page and zoom in to better read the collection. Here are a few of the images in the collection
