History of the U.S. Marine Corps

Just in time for Veterans' Day, we follow the history of the USMC and its veterans, through 249 years of service. Learn about how the U.S. Marine Corps started, key battles that the Marine Corps participated in, and more! Explore how to trace a Marine Corps unit's military history, to better understand the life and service of the USMC veteran in your family. Librarian Samantha Diaz will also spotlight DPL's Veterans Oral History Project USMC interviews recorded at the Dallas Public Library.

This Genealogy & History program is available both in-person at the J. Erik Jonsson Central Library, 8th floor AND online via Zoom. Register below for either option!
