Updates from the Veterans History Project (VHP): Remembering Richard Lugar: 1932-2019

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.

Updates from the Veterans History Project (VHP): Call for Applicants: 2020 Bartis Folklife Internships

The Library of Congress American Folklife Center (AFC) recently announced two paid internship opportunities. For 10 weeks, interns will be immersed in the environment and activities of the American Folklife Center, which pairs robust cultural programming with the world's largest ethnographic archive.

Applications for the Bartis Folklife Internship will be considered until March 28, 2018. This fellowship is named for - and supported by - the generosity of Dr. Peter Bartis, the longest serving AFC employee. From 2001 – 2008, his expertise and unique vision established VHP as one of the largest oral history projects in the world. His collegiality defined the character, spirit, and intersections of AFC and VHP.

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 American war veterans so that future generations may hear directly from veterans and better understand the realities of war.
