      how to donate

      Send in Your History

      The Collections Department and the Robert R. McCormick Research Center continually seek donations to accurately and comprehensively reflect the history of the 1st Infantry Division from 1917 to present day. In addition to World War I and World War II, we are especially interested in Cold War, Vietnam, Balkans, Gulf War, and Desert Storm related artifacts. Such objects, particularly when well-documented, help to tell the story of the Big Red One. If you would like more information, please do not hesitate to ask. We welcome inquiries about possible donations.

      The First Division Museum needs weapons, uniforms, gear, photos, and stories pertaining to the 1ID service after 1970

      In order to create dynamic and interesting exhibits  to display in the upcoming expansion the First Division Museum is seeking artifacts pertaining to the 1st Infantry Division from 1970 to present day.
