THIS IS THE HOMEPAGE  for photographs & other visual images from Record Group 127, US National Archives, Washington D.C. 

 

Photographs.   Right now there are 112 photos from RG127, Entry 38, Boxes 29, 30 & 38.  Most (perhaps all) were unpublished before now.  (The main US National Archives photograph collection is in Archives II in College Park, MD, here called USNA2).

 

I divide these 112 photos into six pages, clustered into four themes:
