Thank you for visiting the U.S. Army Women's Museum's digital collections. The museum, located at Fort Lee, Virginia, is home to thousands of artifacts and archives that tell the story of the service of Army women. This digital repository holds only a small fraction of that vast collection. New items are added regularly, but if you are looking for something or someone in particular you can reach out the museum directly to submit a research inquiry (see below).

Helpful Hints for Searching

Using online repositories for research can be challenging! We recommend using Boolean Operators to help narrow down your results. What follows are several useful operators to apply:

1. Use quotation marks to search for complete phrases, i.e. "Women's Army Corps".

2. Use AND to search for two words or phrases together, i.e. "Women's Army Corps" AND "Jane Doe" or marriage AND WAC.

3. Use OR to search for one word or phrase or another similar one, i.e. "Women's Army Corp" OR WAC.

For a complete list of Boolean Operators, please see "The Complete Boolean Library" by Cheyenne V.
