This collection consists largely of materials collected by Dr. Alexander (Alex) R. Stoesen (1932-2017) during his research on Basic Training Center #10 and the Overseas Replacement Depot (ORD). Located within Greensboro city limits, this military base was a training and processing center for the Army Air Forces during World War II and a catalyst for Greensboro's transformation from a small town to a modern city. The collection includes several drafts of Dr. Stoesen's unpublished paper, The Elixir of War: Greensboro as an 'Army Town,' 1942-1946. His extensive research on the ORD was heavily used in Army Town: Greensboro, 1943-1946, an exhibit that detailed Greensboro's contributions to the war effort during World War II.
