This Veterans Day, learn from veterans of the past – by helping the researchers of tomorrow.

The Library of Congress holds many collections that touch on the lives and service of military personnel; and the human cost of war. Although American Civil War materials fall outside the scope of the Veterans History Project, we encourage you to hone your transcription skills using wartime correspondence. The recently launched crowdsourcing project, crowd.loc.gov/, contains three collections relating to the Civil War: letters written to Abraham Lincoln, the diaries of Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross, and the papers of disabled veterans' advocate William Oland Bourne (1819-1901), a reformer, poet, clergyman, and editor of the Soldiers Friend journal. 

The mission of the Veterans History Project of the Library of Congress American Folklife Center is to collect, preserve and make accessible the personal accounts of U.S. veterans so that future generations may hear directly from veterans and better understand the realities of war. Learn more at http://www.loc.gov/vets. Share your exciting VHP initiatives, programs, events and news stories with VHP to be considered for a future RSS.
