Introduction to WW2 | World War II Database
Introduction to WW2 | World War II Database
C. Peter Chen, is the founder and editor of World War II Database. The project started in the form of his personal notebook in which he kept notes and copies of photographs about WW2. With a relational database model, he was able to connect people, events, photographs, and other elements of history with ease, and the content of this database quickly grew. In Oct 2004, he began building the WW2DB as a public website for Lava to achieve two goals simultaneously: To share his notes with fellow military history enthusiasts and to showcase the technical capabilities of his consulting firm. From this initiative born the foundations of the website that eventually opened to the public on 28 Dec 2004.

Spomenik Database | The Monumental History of Yugoslavia
The Spomenik Database was set up in 2016 by writer, history hobbyist and travel enthusiast Donald Niebyl to act as a comprehensive online resource for the most significant and notable of the abstract & modernist World War II monuments built in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia from roughly 1960 to 1990 (structures commonly referred to as 'Spomeniks'), which are now, after the breakup of that country in the 1990s, scattered across the present-day regions of Croatia, Slovenia, N. Macedonia, Serbia, Kosovo, Bosnia i Herzegovina and Montenegro. It is hoped that people around the world will use this database as a tool to not only learn about and gain a greater understanding of these often misunderstood historical artifacts, but in addition, the website is organized in such a way that it provides the information needed for would-be adventurers, academic researchers and other Yugo-curious travelers to set out on their own sculptural journeys to see, experience and learn about the spomeniks for themselves. This website is constantly growing and being updated, so always check back for more info and feel free to contact the Spomenik Database if you have any questions!
