Veterans History Project
T he Veterans History Project of the American Folklife Center collects, preserves, and makes accessible the personal accounts of American war veterans so that future generations may hear directly from veterans and better understand the realities of war.This is a remarkable site, with a wealth of primary sources from World War I to the present. As always when dealing with war and its consequences, you will want to make judgments about what your students are prepared to deal with. There is a section of the site devoted to helping teachers and students take oral histories of veterans in their community.
