Administrative Information
| ABOUT THE COLLECTION | |
| Acquisition: | The papers of RADM Joseph H. Wellings were presented to the Naval War College Foundation for deposit in the Naval Historical Collection in two separate accessions: the first, in 1977, consisted of materials regarding Wellings’ assignment as U.S. observer of the British Home Fleet, including his reminiscences of the sinking of the Bismarck in May 1941; and the second, in 1980, was composed of correspondence, writings, speeches, subject files, and miscellany relating to his naval career. Both RADM and Mrs. Wellings, the donors, felt that these materials would be of interest to naval history scholars and would be particularly well placed in the archives of the Navy’s senior educational institution. Additional manuscripts were presented in 1987, 1989, and 2005. |
