Arrangement of Materials
This collection is arranged chronologically by date of publication. Materials that have the same date are arranged alphabetically by serial titles (indicated by italics), article titles (indicated by quotation marks), or numerically by serial issue number. Some serials repeat the same issue number throughout the container list, but have different years of publication. It is assumed these are different volume numbers, but none could be identified on the items. Clippings from serials with unidentified titles and dates are listed at the end of the container list, grouped together by language.

Historical Note
Beginning in 1939 and ending in 1945, World War II spanned across the globe. Though centered in Europe, with the fight between the Allied and Axis powers due to the rise of Nazi Germany, major battles occurred in the Pacific theatre of war as well. Notable events include the capture and subsequent surrender of the Philippines by the Japanese army between 1942-1944, and the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
For civilians on both sides of the war, magazine publications were important sources of information. Some magazines focused on relaying information about military developments, whereas others were focused on the spread of propaganda. A central goal of these publications was to rally support among the general populations for their governments and militaries.
After the end of World War II, the Korean War (1950-1953) quickly become an international affair, involving outside powers such as the United States, China, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Similar to World War II, magazine publications were a source of information and propaganda for civilians.
Hugh A. Harter (1922-2011), was a graduate of Ohio State University, a scholar of Spanish and French literature, and Professor Emeritus of Modern Languages at Ohio Wesleyan University. Harter also served with the United States Army during World War II.
Scope and Contents
The Hugh A. Carter Collection of World War II Periodicals and Clippings contains periodicals and clippings published throughout World War II and the beginning of the Korean War. Written in English, French, and German, the publications in this collection focus on specific battles and military achievements in both the European and Pacific theatres. Both pro-Allies and pro-Nazi stances are shown throughout the materials. Although the bulk of materials focus on World War II, several clippings also focus on American military action in the Korean War, as well as French President Vincent Auriol's visit to the United States in 1951. The time span of the collection ranges from 1938 to 1951.
