THE CRILE ARCHIVES & CENTER FOR HISTORY EDUCATION: Where Students Connect with History The Crile Archives began as a student project in 1994 as part of the 50th commemoration of WW II. Both the Archive and the College were designated as a "Commemorative Community" by the Department of Defense in 1995. The Crile Archives is a repository of 20th century military history. It contains documents, artifacts, and oral histories of veterans of WW I, WW II, the Korean war, and the Vietnam war. The most recent additions are a POW archive, Nurses, and African American veterans. Crile Hospital was in continuous service from 1944 until 1964. MISSION STATEMENT: The Crile Archives collection strives to honor all who served in the wars of the 20th century. The Crile Archives sustains the vision of Crile Hospital by active preservation of the historical record and by providing curricular resources for teachers and students. The Crile Archives continues to design history outreach programs that engage community groups as we continue the journey begun by Crile, progressing "from healing to learning. |
