Atomic Age GIThis Veterans Day and beyond, see the people and places of Fort Ord as it existed in the 20th century, from 1915 to 1995.  Through a grant from the California State Library, the CSUMB Library has digitized images that  focus on the role of  Fort Ord as a training facility, beginning in World War I and continuing until the closure of the base.

Digitized images include photographs, postcards and documents that show soldiers in training and the base environment.

One set of images, by photographer Dennis Sun, depicts the variety of murals that once covered the buildings of Fort Ord.

This collection of Fort Ord Historical Images is now available on the Online Archive of California.  For more information, contact Janie Silveria, jsilveria@csumb.edu.
