1. What is the goal of this project?

The goal of the Veterans Oral History Project (VOHP) is to preserve the history of America's Veterans by using oral histories. The oral histories will be collected by Cumberland Valley Juniors in select US History classes.

2. Who may participate in this project?

All US Veterans, peacetime or combat, any service, and any era are welcome in the program. However, a preference will be given to older Veterans to participate. 

3. What is the time commitment of those participating in the project?

We would ask Veterans to be willing to work with CV students for 2 oral history sessions, each lasting no more than 2 hours in length.

Students would be expected to meet with their Veteran for 2 oral history sessions, each lasting no more than 2 hours in length. It is possible that students would need to spend some time doing background research about the conflict their Veteran was involved in during the war.

4. I have never participated in a project like this before, how will I learn how to properly participate?

Students who are accepted into the program will attend a training session with individuals from the Army Heritage Center. At this training session students will be introduced to the program and learn how to properly conduct an oral history.

Veterans will be provided support throughout the course of this project.
