North Carolina
The Women Veterans Historical Project was established in
1998 at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
Housed in the University Archives in Jackson Library, the project is
documenting the female experience in the armed forces through
letters, papers, photographs, published materials, uniforms and
medals, and oral histories.
The materials collected by the project will form a research
collection for scholars in the fields of military history as well as
women's studies. In addition, the project sponsors an annual
"gathering" of veterans on the UNCG campus each November and will
sponsor educational opportunities and exhibits throughout the state.
The project seeks to recognize the women who served their country
and to educate the country on the contributions of these women.
