Donation
The Bastogne Memorial association has for main aim to respond to material donations given to the Bastogne War Museum. Those donations often come from families, whose wish is to make sure that cherished objects and documents are well preserved. Those objects and documents generally belonged to a relative who lived or fought in the Ardennes during the Winter 1944-1945 or people who want history to never be forgotten.
From the opening of our new stockage rooms those objects will be kept in a whole new room in the Bastogne War Museum. The main goal of this change is to preserve them in optimum conditions. The received documents will be integrated into the Documentation Center about World War II.
All received documents must be rigorously implemented in a data base to make sure we have a trace of each of them. This specific work is done by the staff and some volunteers. They are fascinated by the Battle of the Bulge and want to take part of this process of memory and preservation. The Documentation Center will enable researchers and/or students to have access to multiple resources, – among them some very unique – to complete their research. Staff and volunteers will welcome researchers and will help them in their search for documents. Your subscription will help pay volunteers’ expenses and travel costs as well as informatic material necessary to the data base, which helps the researchers in their work in an efficient service.
