Do you have 10th Mountain related materials to preserve?
Our partnership with the 10th Mountain Resource Center ensures your personal collection of documents, letters or photographs will be preserved and accessible at the Denver Public Library.
Memorabilia, equipment and more will be added to the collection and preserved at History Colorado.
All materials will also be added to the 10th Mountain Resource Center’s online database; however, it is safest to first ask if they’re interested in your items.
Resource Center at Denver Public Library
Type of items desired: letters, photos, maps, home movies, artwork, diaries, journals, manuals, books or booklets.
Additional Guidelines: we prefer original materials rather than copies if at all possible (exceptions being discharge papers and military orders.)
We often receive book collections or other published materials, which we can accept if they are significant for use in the reference collection. If we already have copies, books need to be returned to the donors or placed in our annual book sale.
Note: If you have very many items, it is helpful to make an itemized list of the items. With photographs, it is useful if the person donating them could provide dates and especially identification on any of the people in the photographs. Often we get Camp Hale photos and simply have to guess that they are either 1943 or 1944, for example

Types of items desired: Any materials related to the 1948-1958 10th Infantry Division or the modern 10th Mountain Division, reborn in 1985, and duplicates of items at 10th Resource Center and History Colorado.
The mission of the 10th Mountain Division and Fort Drum Museum is to use historical artifacts to build an esprit de corps in 10th soldiers and their families, as well as with civilian personnel and the local community.
The museum uses original artifacts and covers the history of Fort Drum and its relationship with New York’s North Country, as well as the 10th Mountain Division’s history from its WWII origins and baptism in Italy through to present day, and its role in Iraq and Afghanistan as the most deployed division in today’s Army.
