The Vietnam War

  • The Vietnam Collection is made possible because WGBH-Boston's offers free access to interviews, archival footage, photographs, and other materials that were used to create its 13 hour documentary.
  • Vietnam Veteran Memorial Fund offers a variety of useful information, most notably its interactive "Wall of Faces," which attempts to connect a face/photograph and a story to every name on the Wall.

Slavery

  • Who Owned Slaves in Congress? This database from The Washington Post is the first to list every member of Congress who ever enslaved people.
