Veterans History Project
Since Veterans Day 2005, the Clermont County Public Library has proudly participated in the Library of Congress Veterans History Project, documenting the invaluable experiences of local veterans. Our dedicated staff has conducted numerous interviews, preserving these narratives for posterity within our local collection and contributing them to the national archive at the Library of Congress.
Veteran interviews in our collection.
Share your story
We seek to honor and remember the contributions of all those who served. Whether you are a wartime veteran or a home-front civilian who supported the Armed Forces, your story is important. Do you know someone who served? We encourage them to share their experiences as well.
The Clermont County Public Library invites you to participate in this vital project. We are eager to record your memories and add your voice to this important historical record. Each interviewee will receive a complimentary DVD of their interview.
To schedule an interview, please contact Chris Rich at 513-732-6084.
