Veterans History Project
The Veterans History Project - a nationwide volunteer effort - collects and preserves oral historie from America's war veterans. The Library of Congress unveiled the Veterans History Project on Veterans Day, 2000. The Veterans History Project archives audio and video recorded oral histories, letters, photographs, journals and written memoirs from veterans of World War 1 through current conflicts as well as from civilians who served in support of them. The Veterns History Project has received more than 35,000 individual submissions increasing the archive by tens of thousands of items. The project receives more than 100 submissions a week from volunteer interviewers and family memberts of veterans around the country. The Project's first book Voices of War featured more than 70 individuals from the collection. Former Senator Max Cleland (D-Ga) authored the introduction and Senator Chuck Hagel (R-Neb) wrote the afterword. Both men are Vietnam veterans whose stories are included in the book. Congressman Ron Kind (D-Wis) wrote the foreword. A companion Web site (www.loc.gov/voiceofwar) , provides entire stories of the featured veterans in Voices of War. Visitors to the site can read memoirs, collections of letters and listen to full interviews. |
