Is the Veterans History Project only interested in World War II?
No. The Project collects first-hand accounts of US veterans who served in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam War, Persian Gulf War (1990-1995), or Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts (2001-present). U.S. citizen civilians who actively supported war efforts (such as war industry workers, USO workers, flight instructors, medical volunteers, defense contractors, etc.) are also invited to share their valuable stories. Please see What We Collect for more information. The Project greatly values and appreciates veterans’ stories from additional combat areas; those collected will be processed as resources allow. Additionally, if you have materials or oral histories that fall outside the above-stated areas, please review this list of related repositories that also collect and preserve veterans’ materials.
