Since 1935, the National Archives has been responsible for the acquisition, preservation and public disemmination of the permanent records of the United States government. Now, for the first time, select materials from this inestimable national resource have been assembled to produce War on the Homefront, the DVD boxed set representing an invaluable cinematic recounting of the stateside war effort waged by civilian men and women, and the war measures- from gas rationing to Victory gardens – in place back home. Comprising newsreel footage, training films and appearances by a galaxy of Hollywood stars, War on the Homefront spotlights astonishingly varied and emotional images culled from the millions of pieces making up the National Archives' popular holdings.
