Just posting a quick hello. Looking forward to being a member here.

My interests include WWI AEF, ACW, AWI, WW2 Normandy, and general US military history. WWI AEF is my most recent obsession and I've jumped in with both feet. I focus on collecting unit histories, military books, uniforms, original photos, letters, and related ephemera. I'm a published author and relatively experienced collector. I have an extensive personal library of a few thousand titles and have experience in primary source materials and archival research, including the National Archives. I especially love researching artifacts with known provenance and uncovering (and preserving) their details. My university background is in Archaeology so I am a huge stickler for provenance, preservation, documentation, and keeping groupings intact when possible. I'm a former SSG in the California State Military Reserve.

 

I run the largest military history book marketplace group on Facebook - Military Books Marketplace. I also run a new WWI AEF collector discussion group - World War I AEF Collectors.

 

Looking forward to meeting fellow collectors and taking part in discussions here!
