What information is made public in the Veterans History Project (VHP) online collection?

The veteran’s name, state of birth and service history information, as they appear on the Biographical Data Form, are made available via the Veterans History Project Collection (search the VHP collection for examples).

For those collections that have been digitized, a portion or all of the collection materials (i.e., video/audio recording, manuscripts, photos, etc.) are made available to the public in our online database.
