Arts Center invites community members to
participate by sharing memories, photographs,
diaries, drawings and other artifacts from their
service in Vietnam.
Participants can share stories with a library staff
member, by appointment, or use a specially-
designed sound booth to record on their own.
It’s easy to record a memory or story in the
sound booth— you can even bring a friend or
family member to help you or act as an
interviewer.
The library will also collect photographs,
drawings, diaries and other artifacts from
veterans’ experiences in Vietnam. An exhibit
featuring selected stories, photographs, and
artifacts will debut at Waterworks Visual Arts
Center in August.
