Welcome to Veterans' Voices, a digital public history exhibit exploring the experiences of United States military veterans through oral history recordings in the Southern Oral History Program's Archives at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This exhibit was planned, designed, and built by undergraduate students in the Southern Oral History Program (SOHP) internship seminar, HIST 593.
Nine undergraduates in the course chose and designed the aesthetics, focus, and site. Each student researched their own historic topic based on an oral hsitory of their choosing which they pulled from the Southern Oral History Program's archives, especially the Military Dissenters: Veterans, Military Families, and the Iraq and Afghan Wars collection, which consists of interviews by Betsy Brinson. We thank you for visiting this site, and hope you'll learn with us about the history of military veterans' experiences in the United States.
