Abstract

Poster Presentation with Video

The Chronicles is a living history project that was envisioned by professor and veteran Geoffrey Jensen. The project will focus on veterans, specifically World War II veterans that are in Yavapai County. The project will interview and record participants through audio and visual methods. The types of questions that will be asked will explore the veterans’ history and how their service affected them before, during, and after they finished. These interviews will be available to the public through ERAU Prescott Library’s Scholarly Commons. The participants, the community and Embry-Riddle as a whole will benefit from the project as participants will have a safe median to share their experiences, the community, including researchers, will have the opportunity to explore the courageous stories that these men and women share, and ERAU will have the pride of knowing that they provided the platform for these veterans to share their stories. For the Presentation for Discovery Day, The Chronicles will show clips from its first interview.
