This collection is an artificial collection which means that the materials within this collection arrived at the Georgia Historical Society at different times and in different ways, but were brought together by archivists for a specific purpose. This purpose was an exhibit at the Georgia Historical Society in 2000 on World War II (1941-1945) and the war's effects on the home front in Savannah, Georgia. Many of the materials in the collection are visual in nature as they were selected for use in display cases. There are, however, informational materials such as flyers, one monograph, newspaper clippings, periodicals, and pamphlets as well. Materials include both original materials and reproductions.
