How will you commemorate the Veterans Day centennial?

On Saturday, November 10^th, the Library's Poetry and Literature Center, Veterans History Project, and Exhibits Office invite you to participate in the “The Road Back,” a daylong symposium on veterans’ literature & writing.

Beginning at 10AM, the Library invites you and the veterans in your life to a tour of Echoes of the Great War: American Experiences of World War I and WWI cart display before attending the 11:00AM panel discussion, “Veterans and Literary Writing,” which explores the meaningful coping mechanisms afforded through journaling.

A 1:30PM afternoon panel will feature poetry and literature readings from poet veterans Bruce Weigl, Bill Jones, and David Richmond, as well as cowboy poet Vess Quinlan, who will discuss their favorite World War I writers, share selections of their work, and participate in a discussion moderated by Anya Creightney, Programs Manager of the Poetry and Literature Center.

Concluding the symposium will be a 3:00-4:30PM screening of the 1937 American drama war film, The Road Back, directed by James Whale and based on the novel of the same name by Erich Maria Remarque.  The film is a sequel to All Quiet on the Western Front and follows German soldiers from the Armistice through their return home as they adjust to civilian life, learning that Germany and their personal lives have changed tremendously while they were gone.

The event is free and open to the public, but due to expected demand, tickets are recommended, and available on a first-come, first-served basis.   You can RSVP for your seat at Eventbrite.com  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-road-back-veterans-and-literary-writing-symposium-tickets-48886963223 or request ADA accommodations at least five business days in advance by contacting (202) 707-6362 or ada@loc.gov.

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.

VHP shares in the remembrances of Dr. James Billington, who amongst his vast legacy also welcomed Congress’ enactment of the “Veterans Oral History Project.” Responding to legislators’ directive to the Library of Congress American Folklife Center, Billington proffered that “these histories will be an invaluable resource for future generations and will become part of the nation's vast historical record that the Library of Congress has preserved for 200 years."

A champion of the Project, and a veteran himself of the United States Army, Billington leveraged his military service as a VHP interviewer, expanding the Library’s collections to include oral histories with Lieutenant General Julius Becton, Jr., General Andrew J. Goodpaster, Captain John W. Kluge, and Colonel Mary Louise Rasmuson nee Milligan.

The Honorable Richard Lugar passed away last night, leaving behind a legacy of both lawmaking and local history. Through the efforts of his Senate Office, nearly 9,000 Indianan veterans’ voices were recorded and preserved – a capstone achievement accessible through the Library of Congress Veterans History Project (VHP).

Years after leaving office, Lugar returned to the mission of the Veterans History Project, this time, offering his oral history of Cold War naval service. As have many VHP participants, he shared his story with a close friend, the Honorable Joe Donnelly.
