Ten Things that Makes Us Different
- We have the largest collection of steamship and ocean liner passage contracts and tickets online.
- We have the largest collection of steamship and ocean liner passenger lists, which passengers were provided with as souvenirs of their voyage.
- Our collection of steamship and ocean liner programs is one of the largest online.
- We have an extensive online collection of steamship and ocean liner menus.
- We have an extensive collection of military boot camp yearbooks for the US Army, Navy, and Marine Corps.
- We have over 29,000 images throughout all of our collections.
- At the heart of this website is the passion of one individual, our esteemed archivist, Paul Gjenvick. His dedication and love for historical materials have led to the creation of most of the materials you see here, making the GG Archives a labor of love.
- Over 8,000 pages have been created and hand-coded using Adobe Dreamweaver for a largely static website (Historical materials rarely change, they get brittle and turn to dust after a few centuries).
- The GG Archives boasts a treasure trove of unique collections, including the Bangor Punta collection, the Epicurean collection, and the Influenza Pandemic of 1918-1919 collection. These distinct archives delve into lesser-known aspects of history, offering a wealth of insights for researchers and enthusiasts.
- With a strong emphasis on primary source documents, the GG Archives provides a direct gateway for researchers and enthusiasts to access authentic historical materials. This accessibility enhances the credibility and depth of their research, making the GG Archives a valuable resource.
