Description
The Maverick Veterans’ Voices Project was launched in the Fall of 2012 as a partnership between the History Department and UTA Libraries. The purpose of the project is to collect, share and preserve the vast and diverse experiences of those in the UTA community who have served in the United States Armed Forces. The project's goals are to record the oral histories of the University of Texas at Arlington affiliated veterans (alumni, current students, former students, faculty, and staff) as well as the loved ones who supported these men and women throughout their careers. This presentation will discuss how the History Department and UTA Libraries are continuing their partnership to improve and build upon the personal narratives of the UTA veteran community through The Maverick Veterans' Voices Project and the use of open-source technology.
