Potential Projects

This section contains select YMCA documents from the Second World War-era. These are intended to help illustrate the contents of the YMCA Archives, as well as help provide ideas for potential research projects. Projects do not necessarily need to focus on the YMCA in order to make use of the archives. Although there is plenty of material for such projects, YMCA documents can be used in virtually any project as a way to provide context to the circumstances surrounding specific events and time periods.
