This year, Guam celebrates 75 years since its World War II liberation. Guampedia is helping commemorate and honor those we lost and those who survived. Big plans are underway! Check out the Liberation 75 website to stay updated on all the events and memorials
happening this summer. If you’re interested in learning more about our history during this time, read our articles about World War II on Guam. Learn about war atrocities, prominent individuals, and heartwrenching first hand accounts of prisoners of war.
“I found the whole website very helpful to find out information about Guam. The website design and content are great! The e-publications page provides amazing historical documents and gives a glimpse into Guam’s fascinating and complex history. As a librarian who is moving to Guam in the next couple months, I found it extremely helpful to learn about the culture.”
