Veterans Bonus March of 1932



Does anyone on the list know of any repositories that may have materials
on the Bonus March of 1932?

This was a World War I Veterans March in Washington D.C.
during the summer of 1932. These veterans came from every state in the
Union in the hopes of petitioning Congress so that they could secure a bonus
that was originally due in 1945,  but they needed it to be payable immediately
because of the onset of the Depression.

One of our researchers is specifically interested in
primary sources i.e. diaries, documents, letters, oral histories etc.
Our collection does not contain these materials, so I am wondering
if anyone is aware of other locations?  Any help that you could
give him would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks -
