This source for these Web pages was from a museum exhibit which was a cooperative effort between the U.S. National Park Service and the Arizona Memorial Museum Association, and was made possible in part by a grant from the Guam Humanities Council, in cooperation with the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The "War in the Pacific: The First Year" guidebook is intended to provide visitors with a better understanding of the events surrounding the first year of the war in the Pacific, and the results and effects, both direct and indirect, of those events.
