| The Vietnam Project <http://www.vietnam.ttu.edu/index.htm>. Created and maintained by the Vietnam Center at Texas Tech University, Lubbock. Reviewed Sept. 1–Oct. 1, 2004.
|
| The Vietnam Project is a nexus of scholarship, public outreach, and activism that researchers, educators, and veterans will find invaluable to their interests in the Vietnam War and the history of Southeast Asia. This online enterprise grew out of the Vietnam Center, founded in 1989 at Texas Tech University by a group of veterans looking for ways to reflect positively upon their experiences in Southeast Asia. |

The Vietnam Project consists of three main initiatives: providing online access to the center's Vietnam Archive, housed at Texas Tech; hosting the Vietnam Virtual Archive, an online collection of over 1.5 million pages of material; and promoting an Oral History Project that invites the public to conduct interviews for transcription and storage in both the physical and digital archives. The Vietnam Project is also a hub of communication among Vietnam veterans, maintaining a list of reunions around the country and serving as a portal to over forty veterans' associations and their online document collections. |
