The collection consists of books, papers, correspondence, personal narratives, propaganda material, photographs, and artifacts
contributed by soldiers and families who have served with or are connected with soldiers who served with the Wolfhounds.

and relationships between veterans after their service.
There is a small but well-maintained collection of items and documents about the Holy Family Home in Japan.
There are a considerable number of books in the collection. Many are about the 27th Infantry Regiment, though some are on
more general topics, such as military campaigns and entire wars. Some are autobiographies or biographies; many are written
by Wolfhound veterans. The videos in the collection are similar. These are often interviews of Wolfhounds and videos about
certain military events.
The artifacts are original and similar attire and items from Wolfhounds in their military service.

Infantry Regiment. Most concentrate on the Wolfhounds in the Korean War.
