WWII Government Pamphlets Available at U of Richmond Site

The University of Richmond (GO SPIDERS!) is offering for Memorial Day a collection of 60 digitized World War II pamphlets. They can be searched and browsed at http://oncampus.richmond.edu/is/library/digital/america_at_war/Gateway.html , while the university announcement is at http://oncampus.richmond.edu/news/press/may04/WWII.html .

You may search the collection by keyword, get information on the collection, or get a brief list of links. A search for "war marriages" found 47 results, including entire documents ("Can war marriages be made to work?") and pages from within entire documents. When you click on the item number you get the text from the original item and over on the far right a Flash link to view the page image (which is noted as "View Text" which is kinda confusing.)

It would be nice if it were easier to page through entire documents, or to have the ability to browse the documents. This site is worth a visit but you'll need to have some good keywords in mind.
