Northwest Iowa Vietnam Veterans: An oral history project

The library has recently published a web site called Northwest Iowa Vietnam Veterans: An oral history project. The site grew out of an assignment in History 351: America and the Vietnam War, taught by Professor Doug Carlson. In the course, students interview area veterans about the experiences in the Vietnam War.

Nine interviews, conducted in the spring of 2007, are currently available on the web site.

The library hopes to continue to grow a digital collection about the Vietnam experience from the perspective of northwest Iowans. The library is grateful to the veterans who willingly shared their experiences with students, and now share them with the larger Northwestern community. Hear their stories by visiting the web site.
