Scope and Content

Material related to the Naval Radar School at Bowdoin College from 1941 to 1946. According to the President's Report, the Naval Radar School at Bowdoin College utilized Bowdoin College facilities but was in no way connected to the College. The collection includes data sheets on each member of each class which typically contained between fifty and one hundred naval reserve officers recently out of College. The data sheets contain basic information on each student. There are also curricula for both the Naval Radar School at Bowdoin as well as the advanced course taught at Massachusetts Institute of Technology where many of the officers went following their time at Bowdoin. The Naval Radar School records also include syllabi for Naval courses as well as class photos for several of the classes at the Naval Radar School. Finally, the records also include biographical cards for Naval Reserve officers with last names from the letter P to the letter Z.

Acknowledgment of non-neutrality

The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
