Most of the memoirs in MRC can be found with biographies in the 921 section, where books are organized by the subject's last name (for example, Commando would be found under 921 RAM); however, there are a handful of memoirs that have been shelved in different parts of the library. As always, don't hesitate to ask one of the librarians for help if you're having trouble locating a particular book.
Here is just a sampling of some of the new memoirs to be found in MRC...
