10th Mountain Division database records, 1942-1946 [manuscript].

10th Mountain Division Database Records include basic records for over 32,000 individuals who served with the Division during World War II. A special committee began work on the database project in 1996. The committee acquired copies of all relevant primary documents archived in the Resource Center at the Denver Public Library and at the National Archives in Maryland -- plus hundreds of documents provided by veterans. In mid-1998 the effort was taken over by an ad hoc subcommittee of the Resource Center Committee, appointed by Chairman Hugh Evans. While the project was considered complete by the end of 2001 and the database and source documents officially became property of the Resource Center in March 2002, changes and additions, such as death dates, continue to be made as needed by the Database Advisory Committee.
