Here’s a project you might want to get involved in.

Every day, 1,000 World War II veterans die. So the Library of Congress
wants your help in finding war stories to create an archive for their Veterans History Project. The Radio and Television News Directors Foundation (RTNDF) is helping
students find veterans to interview and will help you work with a local
television or radio station.

The project is an “in-camera” exercise, which means no editing is
allowed. Unedited tapes and recordings must be sent in with a list of
what topics were discussed in your interview.

Want to get involved? E-mail Carol Knopes, the director of education projects RTNDF.

Find more information about the project from the Library of Congress.
