World War II Archivists: In the Field and on the Home Front

In response to the widespread looting and destruction of cultural property in the European Theater during World War II, the Allies established the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives (MFAA) Sub-commission, a unit charged with safeguarding historic sites and protecting, recovering, and repatriating objects of cultural heritage. This article discusses the inclusion of an archival program in the MFAA mission and identifies the American and British archivists who were members of the MFAA along with their notable advocates on the home front.
