| The Eisenhower Center
for American Studies is a non-profit research institute
dedicated to the study and preservation of American history and
leadership from a variety of perspectives, including foreign
policy, social history, literature and popular culture.
The Eisenhower Center is located
next door to the National
D-Day Museum, which will open on June 6, 2000. The D-Day
museum grew from Eisenhower Center Founding Director Stephen
Ambrose's book D-Day June 6, 1944: The Climactic Battle of
World War II and Dr. Ambrose's collection of oral histories
of D-Day and Battle of the Bulge veterans. The Museum will
feature artifacts from Utah and Omaha Beach as well as the
Higgins Landing Craft. The Eisenhower Center will serve as the
research center for the D-Day Museum as well as continuing our
other projects, including The
Majic Bus, the Stephen
E. Ambrose Distinguished Speakers Series, and scholarly
conferences.
Working with leading
educational and historical institutions like the Eisenhower
Center for American Studies of the University of New Orleans,
Military.com hopes to create the largest collection of living
histories on the Web.
