More than 1,100 photographs of World War II veterans from Kansas are featured in “The Memory Wall,” an exhibit at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. All those photos, plus thousands more, are also available in its searchable computer kiosk.

The Dole Institute was established to honor Bob Dole, a World War II veteran twice decorated with the Bronze Star and Purple Heart who became the Senate Majority Leader and a Presidential candidate. He is a native of Russell, Kans.

The institute contains archives; a 19 x 11-foot red granite map of Kansas; a 22-foot stained glass Russell Window given by the Senator in memory of his parents; a reading rail with photographs and text tracing Dole’s life; and an American flag window—the world’s largest stained glass flag, at 12 x 32 feet  and 1,900 pounds—flanked on each side by two World Trade Center beams.

For more information call 785-864-4900 or go to www.DoleInstitute.org. The institute is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. from  Monday through Saturday, and 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. It is located at 2350 Petefish Drive in Lawrence and is the center of the KU campus. Tallgrass Creek: 45-minute drive
