Dat Moi (New Land) Newsletters, bulk 1975

 

Collection context

Summary

Abstract:
Newsletter of the Vietnamese Refugee Processing Center, Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. Published roughly daily, except Sndays, with text in Vietnamese and English. As American troops withdrew from Vietnam, thousands of South Vietnamese arrived in the United States, many coming to Florida and the center at Eglin Air Force Base. These newsletters tally the arrivals and departures and include information about the United States, customs, English language, and other details to help the new immigrants assimilate into the United States. Dat Moi ended on August 27, 1975 with publication of its final edition, No. 85.
