CSU archives set to expand with arrival of new archival materials

COLUMBUS, Ga. (WRBL) — Columbus State University announced today the arrival of 20 pallets of historical military materials which will assist in expanding the university’s archives.

The CSU Library Archives acquired papers from the personal collection of the longest serving Secretary of the Army, John O. Marsh, who served in his position from 1981-1989. The arrival of material includes nearly 1,500 boxes that the university says offers “unparalleled insights into the post-Vietnam transformation of the U.S. Army.”

“These collections—now highlighted with the materials from John Marsh, make Columbus State an indispensable resource for understanding the evolution of the U.S. military in the 20th and 21st centuries,” said David M. Owings, who leads CSU’s Archives and Special Collections. “The richness and diversity of these papers will support scholars, students, veterans, and the general public in new and exciting ways.” 

The military history archives was the result of a partnership with the Richard R. Hallock Endowment for Military History and the Hallock Distinguished University Chair in Military History.

The university says these initiatives have helped make CSU a regional leader in military history, scholarship and public programming.
