This collection's origins are largely unknown, as it came to the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library via an internal transfer from Perkins Library. It consists of several folders of newspapers, ranging in length from one to a dozen pages. There are numerous regiments represented; in some cases there are nearly complete runs of the regiment's publication, and in other cases only one or two issues. It appears that all of the German fronts in Europe are represented.
