Don Schultz (1933-2013) was born during the Great Depression. Raised in Freeport, Long Island, Don was eight years old when the United States entered the war. Like many of his peers who were too young to serve, his life would be forever shaped by his experiences living on the home front. Don’s collection includes newspaper clippings, hand-drawn charts and maps, artifacts from his family (i.e. letters and ration books), European and Japanese money, and postage stamps from the Third Reich. The collection begins with the history of World War I and includes post-World War II retrospectives. There are also a number of articles that relate directly to Long Island.
Scope of Collection
This collection contains five scrapbooks, each over 1000 pages, and were assembled throughout Don Schultz’s life (1933-2013).
