The
Center for Public History at the University of West Georgia is a partner
with the Veterans History Project, an initiative created by Congress in
2000 and managed by the Library of Congress. Volunteers from across the
United States, including veterans and military organizations, libraries,
archives, museums, oral history programs, universities and civic organizations
collect and preserve stories of wartime service in the military and civilian
life. The Center for Public History has been actively interviewing and
documenting the wartime experiences of West Georgia residents since 2004.
