The Patriot Files has been added to the official list of the Founding Partners of the Library of Congress Veterans History Project.

Here is the link to the message: http://www.loc.gov/vets/partners/partners.html Here is a link to the page listing The Patriot Files as a Founding Partner of the Library of Congress Veterans History Project: http://www.loc.gov/vets/partners/california.html Library of Congress statement concerning Founding Partners of the Library of Congress Veterans History Project:
Announcing Founding Partners and Contributors For the past decade the Veterans History Project (VHP) of the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress has been actively following its Congressional mandate to collect, preserve, and make accessible the personal accounts of American war veterans. To date, the Veterans History Project comprises over 68,000 individual collections that are available to researchers and the general public at the Library of Congress. Of that number, more than 7,000 are digitized and are accessible online through the VHP Web site. VHP’s success is due to the dedication, inspiration, and diligent work of the thousands of organizational volunteers across the country who requested to be VHP Partners. They followed the guidelines and materials to record the one-of-a-kind personal recollections of America’s wartime veterans. These dedicated volunteers are now the official Founding Partners, an exclusive group listed on the VHP Web site. Although VHP has reached this important 10-year milestone, much remains to be done. There are millions of American veterans living today, each with a unique story to tell. The only way VHP will be able to collect, preserve, and make accessible these wartime stories is through the continued dedication of volunteer contributors. |
