The all-volunteer Oral History Program of the Battleship New Jersey video records interviews with former crew members, Navy and other military veterans, who talk about their on-board life, duties, and perils. We have done over 300 interviews, including veterans from WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Beirut crisis, Iraq, and Afghanistan. The collection is available to researchers, historians, writers, educators, students, and the public from the Library of Congress and the NJ State Library, including online access. Users can digitally search a database of keyword lists, abstracts, or transcripts. Includes 100+ audio recordings and/or transcripts of interviews by naval historian Lt. Cmdr. Paul Stillwell USN (ret.) during his writing of the book, Battleship New Jersey: An Illustrated History.
