The 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 "Outbreak of the War in the Pacific" guide book is intended to provide visitors with a better understanding of the events surrounding the outbreak of the war in the Pacific, the results and effects, both direct and indirect, of that event.

Funding was provided by the 50th Anniversary (Defense of Guam) Steering Committee, Government of Guam.
