Introduction 

Since 1920 the historians of the United States Marine Corps have produced several hundred works on Marine Corps history. These have ranged in length from a few pages of mimeographed material to lengthy case-bound histories sold by the Government Printing Office (GPO) through the Superintendent of Documents. This catalog is in two parts. The first lists those publications still in print and available from the Superintendent of Documents (in which case the GPO stock number and price is given) or only from the History and Museums Division (in which case the abbreviation MCH&M is included). Most of the historical works sold by the GPO are available free to recognized libraries and similar institutions on request to the History and Museums Division. Many of the publications marked MCH&M are intended for limited distribution, and are not generally available to individuals. This is particularly true of Occasional Papers which are reproductions of original copy from various sources. These have the additional marking of an asterisk, i.e., MCH&M*. 
The second part of the catalog is a chronological list of all significant historical publications that were officially produced or sponsored by the History and Museums Division and its predecessors. There are a host also of historical briefs which are not listed. These were produced, mainly by the historians of the Reference Section, in answer to repetitive questions on popular subjects. These are regularly revised and updated and are not generally considered in the class of publications. 
Operational and administrative histories of the Marine Corps are listed in chronological order under the "General Histories" section of this catalog. Most of the monographs and casebound histories which were published concerning World War II and Korean War campaigns are long out of print, but possibly may be obtained from booksellers who stock or are willing to search for earlier Marine Corps histories. A list of such booksellers is maintained by the division and may be obtained on request. 
The division is currently engaged in writing a nine-volume chronological history of Marine Corps operations in Vietnam, the first five volumes of which are listed in this catalog. Well along toward completion is a series of histories of the active duty and Reserve infantry and artillery regiments of the Corps. A similar series of squadron histories is an on-going project. The first modern-day history of a major Marine Corps 
v 

base, Quantico, has been published and more base historiesare planned or underway. An ambitious overall history of theCorps has been started with a history of Marines in the Revo·lution and similar histories of significant eras are planned orin preparation. Fortitudine, the bulletin of the Marine Corps Historical Program, is published quarterly and distributed throughout theCorps. GPO publications may be obtained by writing to:
