Every Soldier Has a Story: Creating a Veterans Oral History Project.
- Authors
Lynch, Michael
- Abstract
The article offers the basic process for establishing a veteran's oral history program. The program can be as simple as the basic process required for students to meet with veterans to record their stories, or it can become more complex, with requirements for transcription and archiving. Moreover, students should be organized, responsible and respectful. According to historians, positive relationship between interviewer and interviewee is the key to the project's success. Additional resources available to teachers and students who wish to research military history and the best ways to recapture veteran's stories are also noted.
