The collections concentrate on Italy in the first half of the twentieth century. Some relate to Italy's role in World War I; many more pertain to World War II, particularly Allied military operations in Italy during the last phases of the war. The World War II collections also include materials on the Italian partisan movement that fought against Mussolini and the German forces’ occupying northern Italy.
