Research On-Line

• AFHRA - www.maxwell.af.mil
  The Air Force Historical Research Agency is the repository for Air Force historical documents. The Agency's collection, begun in Washington, DC, during World War II, moved in 1949 to Maxwell Air Force Base to provide research facilities for professional military education students, the faculty, visiting scholars, and the general public.
• The Society for Military History - smh-hq.org
  Established in 1933 as the American Military History Foundation, renamed in 1939 the American Military Institute, and renamed again in 1990 the Society for Military History, the Society is devoted to stimulating and advancing the study of military history. Its membership (today more than 2300) has included many of the nation's most prominent scholars, soldiers, and citizens interested in military history.
• NARA - www.nara.gov
  "The National Archives is a public trust on which our democracy depends. We enable people to inspect for themselves the record of what government has done. We enable officials and agencies to review their actions and help citizens hold them accountable."
• The Access to Archival Databases (AAD) System - http://aad.archives.gov/aad/title_list.jsp.
  AAD gives you online access to electronic records that are highly structured, such as in databases. The initial release of AAD contains material from more than 30 archival series of electronic records, which include over 350 data files totaling well over 50 million unique records. The series selected for AAD identify specific persons, geographic areas, organizations, or dates. Some of these series serve as indexes to accessioned archival records in non-electronic formats. The AAD system does not, however, support quantitative or statistical analysis of data.
• ArmyAirForces.com - www.armyairforces.com
  ArmyAirForces.com's purpose is to provide the information that you need to research the USAAF of W.W.II. Three major features help accomplish this, 1) our database of all combat units, based off of Maurer's data, 2) a comprehensive forum system, 3) and our research help page.
