NOTES: |
|
Douglas E. Clanin (b. 1940) was born in Anderson, Indiana, and received his B.S. from Purdue University, his M.A. from Indiana University, and is ABD from the University of Wisconsin. He worked on The Documentary History Of The First Federal Elections and and The Documentary History of the Ratification of the Constitution project while at University of Wisconsin, 1970–80, and came to the Indiana Historical Society in September 1980 to serve as editor the William Henry Harrison Project which culminated in the multi-microfilm reel publication The Papers of William Henry Harrison (Indianapolis: Indiana Historical Society, 1999). He is currently editing the papers of Lew and Susan Wallace for the Indiana Historical Society.
Clanin, an Air Force veteran from the Viet Nam era, began his interviews of World War II veterans in 1983 and has continued this project into 2003. He has interviewed over 300 veterans within that timeframe, most of which have been on his own time and at his own expense. He was instrumental in the Historical Society’s Fall 1991 Traces issue commemorating World War II.

Douglas Clanin Resume
The collection is a combination of printed files and oral histories of veterans and campaigns of World War II collected by Doug Clanin from 1983–2002. The files include correspondence with Clanin, newspaper clippings, photographs, copies of service records and discharges, and other information related to either the individual or their unit. Each interviewee’s file contains an information sheet regarding the individual and the interview plus a permission to publish form.
The bulk of the collection consists of 373 interviews, narratives, or speeches conducted by Doug Clanin from 1983–2002. Interviews included veterans of all branches of services and theaters of operation, women in the armed forces, and the experiences of women and men on the home front. Most of the interviews were conducted in the homes of the interviewees or at reunions.
Other materials included newspaper clippings and printed materials relating to the history of the Second World War, 1944–45, 1980s–2001. In addition to articles about veterans, there are materials regarding anniversaries of milestones in the war, such as the bombing of Pearl Harbor, D-Day, and the Battle of the Bulge. The most significant amount of information deals with 50th anniversary commemorations of events near the end of the war, 1994–95. Other items include published histories or articles about specific units or ships. Most of this information was either collected by Clanin or are copies supplied to him by the interviewees.
