This new edition of the 1979 U.S. Naval History Sources in the United States is the first Naval Historical Center publication planned and created especially for the Internet. [...] Most of the materials listed in this publication are the private papers of officers, enlisted personnel, and civilian officials of the U.S. Navy. Additionally, the listings include personal papers collections of the chairmen of Congressional naval committees and other individuals with a significant interest in naval affairs, the records of a number of business firms that acted as naval contractors, and official records of the U.S. Navy. When information was available for private and official documents relating to other uniformed maritime services of the United States, or foreign navies closely associated with our nation's history, entries for these documents were also included. Whenever possible the entries for each repository contain a link to the repository's website, many of which include finding aids to their holdings. The scope of the listed material covers naval history from Colonial times to the 1990s. [self-description] Due to the lack of a search engine users navigate the site by U.S. state names which lead to the repositories and their collections. The listed materials are specified by name, temporal coverage, short description and size.
