      Veterans History Project

       

       

      The American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress continues to collect and make available for use personal accounts of American war veterans so that future generations may hear directly from veterans and better understand the realities of war. If you are interested in participating please visit their Website. 

      Researchers can search and browse for accounts and in some cases view digitized content.
