Scope and Content Note

The GI Bill Oral Histories contains audiocassette tapes, 2003-2004, of interviews of GI Bill veterans who attended North Carolina State College (later North Carolina State University). The interviewees were twelve servicemen and -women who were in the armed forces during World War II, the Korean War and Vietnam War eras, and later. The interviews cover the subjects' military service, educational experiences, GI Bill benefits, and professional careers. Also included for some interviews are tape logs--typed partial transcripts with abridged or paraphrased questions and answers, along with tape counter numbers. Interviews were conducted by Anna Dahlstein, NCSU Libraries Fellow, and Robert Serow, Professor, Education Research, College of Education, North Carolina State University.

Historical Note

The interviews in the GI Bill Oral Histories were conducted in 2003 and 2004 in conjunction with an exhibit prepared by the North Carolina State University Libraries to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of the original "GI Bill of Rights," the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, and to honor those whom the legislation and its subsequent reenactments enabled to attend North Carolina State. Titled "Transforming Society: The GI Bill Experience at NC State," the exhibit was on display at the university's D. H. Hill Library in 2004. The oral histories were conducted by NCSU Libraries Fellow Anna Dahlstein and Robert C. Serow, professor of education at NC State.
