Call for World War I photographs, letters, and ephemera!

The 8th annual Pride of Our Nation…Pride of Our College exhibition will open on Nov. 11, 2018, the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War. In order to participate in the global commemoration of this special event, this year’s Pride of Our Nation… Pride of Our College exhibit will have a special section dedicated to World War I veterans.
We currently have only a handful of photographs from that war and need more. If you have family photographs, letters, and or artifacts from the First World War please contact Alice Malavasic at 629-7697 or a.malavasic@hvcc.edu.
The exhibit will continue to honor all active duty servicemen and military veterans from the Civil War to today.
