| Fort Meade was established in 1917 as a training camp. It has been known as Camp Annapolis Junction, Camp Admiral, Fort Leonard Wood, and Camp George Gordon Meade. Fort Meade was used as a basic training post and a prisoner of war camp during World War II. In the 1950s, it became headquarters of the National Security Agency. International Harvester Company employees sometimes stamped photographs with the word 'kill.' The stamp indicated that they considered an image to be obsolete and wanted the negative destroyed. This would prevent someone from accidentally using an outdated photograph in an advertisement or other company publication. For a small fee WHS staff can remove the word from the image during the reproduction process. |
