Veterans Oral History Project

The Veterans Oral History Project Act creates a new federally sponsored and
funded program to coordinate, at a national level, the collection of
personal histories of war veterans and to encourage local efforts to
preserve their memories. The American Folklife Center at the Library of
Congress will establish a program to collect and preserve video and audio
recorded oral histories of American's war veterans. They will also
selectively acquire documentary materials such as diaries and letters. The
American Folklife Center will also develop an online presentation of the
collection as an accessible resource for the American people. A total of
$250,000 for FY 2001 is appropriated for this project. For further
information visit the American Folklife Center website at
