Brown County Historical Society

The Brown County Veterans Service Office Is Spearheading A County Wide Project To Conduct Interviews and Collect Documentary Materials to be Delivered to the Veterans History Project at the Library of Congress.

Please Watch a Video About the Project or
Jump to the Veterans History Project web site for more information.

The current focus of the Veterans History Project is to collect and preserve the first-hand accounts of U.S. veterans of the following 20th Century wars:

• World War I (1914-1920)
• World War II (1939-1946)
• Korean War (1950-1955)
• Vietnam War (1961-1975)
• Persian Gulf War (1990-1995)

In addition, those U.S. citizen civilians who were actively involved in supporting war efforts (such as war industry workers, USO workers, flight instructors, medical volunteers, etc.) are also encouraged to share their personal narratives.

Veterans' stories from additional combat arenas are greatly valued and appreciated. Those received will be processed as resources allow. Additionally, if you have materials or oral histories that fall outside the above-stated areas, please review this list of related repositories that also collect and preserve veterans' materials.

Brown County Veterans Service is seeking:

• Volunteers

• Teacher-supervised 9th - 12th grade classes to conduct interviews

• Youth organizations and after-school programs that will encourage members to conduct interviews.
