The Veterans History Project is a collaborative effort to collect and preserve the remembrances of American war veterans and the civilians who supported them.  Created by the Library of Congress, the Project is committed to honoring veterans of past and current wars.

Volunteers around the nation are working to collect veterans’ stories on behalf of the Library of Congress. The objective of this effort is to enrich the nation’s understanding of Americans who served in 20^th and 21^st century wars. 

Spring Lake District Library is proud to be a partner with Grand Valley State University in this initiative. Interviewers with the History Department at GVSU are seeking West Michigan veterans (and civilians who worked in support roles) who are willing to share their wartime experiences.

Call  Spring Lake District Library at (616) 846-5770, ext. 107 to arrange an interview.
