August 30, Indy Rotary: Marianne Black, Veterans History Project
By Indy Rotary on August 26, 2016
Marianne Black, a staff member for United States Senator Joe Donnelly, will discuss the history of theVeterans History Project as well as the efforts Senator Donnelly makes to promote the VHP throughout Indiana. She’ll also talk about the mutual benefits to veterans and volunteers of conducting a VHP interview, and how Rotarians can participate.
In an effort to collect, preserve and make available the personal stories of American veterans, Congress created the Veterans History Project (VHP). The VHP is an archive of veterans’ oral histories, and they are housed in the permanent collections of the Library of Congress, one of the world’s most respected research and cultural institutions.
