University of Kentucky Veterans Club records, 1946-1950.

The Veterans Club records are divided into five series: Photographs, Correspondence, Club Material, Financial Materials, Housing Materials, and Publications. While the club was on campus from 1944-1950, the collection contains papers mostly from 1946-1948, the most prosperous years of the club. Most of the photographs were purchased by the club and are official U.S. Marine Corps images of World War Two soldiers and events; therefore there is little photographic documentation of the club. The club papers pertain to the members' efforts in establishing a relationship between student veterans and their campus, fellow student veterans, and the government.
