NATIONAL VETERANS HISTORY PROJECT

This Library of Congress project is 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). Those U.S. citizen civilians who were actively involved in supporting war efforts (such as war industry workers, United Service Organizations workers, flight instructors, medical volunteers, etc.) are also encouraged to contribute their personal narratives. Currently, the Augusta Historical Society and its volunteers are interviewing World War II veterans in the Central Savannah River Area as part of this project.If you are a history buff and are interested in first-hand accounts of this war, you are needed to help interview these veterans. You will be given a 30 to 40-minute briefing that will teach you the skills you need to do the job. If that's not your forte, volunteers are also needed to download the interview tapes from the video camera to a DVD. For more information or to volunteer, contact Fred Gehle at (706) 738-8242 or Doug Hastings at (706) 832-6483.
