Veterans History Project Internship Spring '26

 Welcome back!      This Wednesday has been quite productive. During the meeting today we were able to flesh out the semifinal plans for the VHP Story Day that will be taking place on the 18th of April at the Beardall Senior Center. I have also completed my plans for manning the scanning station for the event. While actually being able to archive transcripts and other documents is important the most important step in the process is making sure that you actually have full access to the documents obtained during the oral interview process.  My hope is that future organization and transcription efforts will be made easier and more streamline so that we can hope to achieve more archived folders over the course of these short semesters. Sometime before story day I will be meeting with the team to talk about our plans for the showcase. Our team is quite small with only three members but i'm hoping this allows the others to talk about what has been fulfilling for them ...

 Welcome back everyone! This week's meeting covered everyones updates. At this point in time I have been working with my fellow interns on their folders and providing  guidance where I have been able to. So far we are still waiting to send out the batch for my completed veteran folder. We will be physically handing him a copy at the Story Day coming up on the 18th of April. As for future work I will be starting on organization of another folder before the semester comes to an end. Once story day comes around I will be taking charge on the scanning station to ensure that folder are set up for next semesters team. One of the biggest struggles of this semester has been not being able to find documents. Especially when there are so many hands working  on similar documents. I am hoping that by working on organization during the event, before anymore work is done it will minimize mistakes or the likelihood of items being misplaced.  Until Next Time!
