The Institute on World War II and the Human Experience is housed in the Department of History at Florida State University. It was first established in 1997 acquiring every item that related to World War II from many people. The Institution started to flourish over the years with hundreds of artifacts entering the building. Now it is one of the largest "museums" in the social and military history of the era.

The veterans that we have now that has still lived on are decreasing every day and this makes the institution even more important to everybody because it is important to know about the people who fought for us and abolished something that killed millions.
