11/11 - The History of Veterans Day and an Oral History Resource

Learn about the history and purpose of Veterans Day.

And check out the Library of Congress resource The Veterans History Project of the American Folklife Center. The Library of Congress collects, preserves, and makes accessible the personal accounts of American war veterans so that future generations may hear directly from veterans and better understand the realities of war.

The WSU Library has excellent resources for historical research. Contact the research help/reference desk or the History Librarian/liaison Joe Mount for more information.
