About: The nation’s largest oral history project, the Veterans History Project (VHP), holds 68,000 first-hand accounts of veterans from World War I through Iraq and Afghanistan. Created by Congress in 2000, VHP resides within the Library’s American Folklife Center, and works with folklorists, community organizations, members of Congress, and volunteers to collect the oral histories, letters, photographs, artwork, and home movie footage of veterans. See collections, meet members of the processing and acquisitions teams, and watch excerpts of oral history.
