- WW II Artifacts in Gov Pubs Now Listed in Chinook >>
The Government Publications Library recently digitized an envelope full of World War II ration stamps, books, and application forms. These artifacts provide a glimpse into daily life during the war. Approved forms allowed the applicant to purchase or rent items in scarce supply such as bicycles, gasoline, rubber boots and typewriters. The documents may be requested for viewing at the Gov Pubs 3rd floor SW office, and digital versions may be accessed at:
