Veterans' Interviews

 

The purpose of the Veterans History Project at Cook Memorial Public Library District is to interview local veterans to preserve their memories and honor their actions.

In conjunction with the Veterans History Project at the Library of Congress, we will interview veterans and civilians about their wartime experiences, record the interviews, and make them available to the public through online transcripts. Every interviewee will be given an audio and written transcript of the interview. A copy and transcript of the interview will also be sent to the Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.

The Veterans History Project was created by an act of Congress on October 27, 2000 in recognition of the country's veterans of World War I, World War II, and the Korean, Vietnam, and Persian Gulf wars. At Cook Library we are proud of our veterans and pleased to be able to contribute to this project. If you are interested in being interviewed, please contact us today.
