The Veterans History Project is a project of the Library of Congress aimed at collecting oral history interviews, memoirs, letters, diaries, photographs, and other original materials from veterans of World Wars I and II, and the Korean, Vietnam, and Persian Gulf Wars and the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts (2001-present).

How You Can Get Involved

While the Veterans History Project does not do the actual interviewing, our Field Kit provides the tools you need to conduct an interview yourself, or have a friend or family member do it with you. Also, many of our partner organizations do interviewing. Check our list of Official Partners to locate a partner near you. The Veterans History Project also collects written memoirs. A special Memoir Kit is available with more information on creating a written record of your memories.
