Janet,

According to the following record in World Cat, Stars and Stripes can be
found at NARA: Publications of the U.S. Government, (Record Group
287), 1790-1979.

The World Cat record, describing a guide for the collection (which is on
microfilm), is:

National Archives and Records Administration. (1989). The Stars and
stripes: Newspaper of the U.S. Armed Forces in Europe, the Mediterranean,
and North Africa 1942-1964. Washington : National Archives Trust
Fund Board, National Archives and Records Administration.

The official title of the publication is: Stars and stripes (European
ed.). Information about the Record Group (although brief) is available
at: http://www.nara.gov/guide/rg287.html

Some related discussion (also from World Cat):

Mitgang, H. (1996, 1959). Civilians under arms: The stars and stripes,
Civil War to Korea. Carbondale: Southern Illinois University
Press. [Description in World Cat: Excerpts from various editions of the
army's military newspaper, named The stars and stripes, and from
independent soldier papers, which covered the Civil War, World War I,
World War II, and the Korean War.]

Moultrie, H.D. (1990). A content analysis comparison between Stars and
Stripes and commercial national newspapers. Unpublished master's thesis,
University of Oklahoma.

Hope this helps!
