Other Title

  • By the People transcription campaign title : War diaries of George S. Patton

Summary

  • This dataset is an export of transcriptions for 3,281 images from the George S. Patton Papers: Diaries digital collection created by staff transcribers through the Library of Congress crowdsourcing program By the People (https://crowd.loc.gov) staff campaign War Diaries of George S. Patton. It contains text created through a transcription and review process, tags, digital collections metadata, and metadata representing the arrangement of the items in the By the People platform, Concordia.
  • The dataset includes transcriptions and data generated from the pages in the By the People campaign War Diaries of George S. Patton (https://crowd.loc.gov/campaigns/patton-war-diaries/). The campaign consisted of all then-available online images of digitized content from the George S. Patton Papers, which consisted only of the Diaries, 1910-1945, series of the collection (http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.mss/collmss.ms000047) transcribed in their entirety. George S. Patton was a US army officer who served in several major conflicts in the 20th century. The diaries, 1910-1945, illustrate Patton's activities during the Mexican Punitive Expedition, World War I, and World War II. The volumes, particularly from 1942 to 1945, document Patton's daily activities and observations and reveal his candor about himself. They include information about American ground combat operations in the campaign for North Africa, the invasion of Sicily, the liberation of France, and the final assault on Germany during World War II. See the George S. Patton Papers: Diaries digital collection (http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.mss/collmss.ms000047) for all available online items for this collection, as well as contextual information, such as a timeline and bibliographic resources.
