The National Court Reporters Foundation (NCRF) and the National Court Reporters Association (NCRA) have partnered with the United States Library of Congress in an effort to protect and preserve the rich and extensive history of U.S. veterans. Through a project sponsored by the Library of Congress, men and women who have served the United States in a time of war have committed their amazing personal histories to recording.
CEUS OR COMPLEMENTARY 2009 NCRA STUDENT MEMBERSHIP AVAILABLE FOR HISTORY TRANSCRIPTION
The National Court Reporters Foundation thanks all the court reporters and students who have participated in the Veterans History Project since its inception. But, there are many more stories to transcribe, and we need your help. As a court reporter, you can earn free CEUs, as a student you can earn a free 2009 NCRA Student Membership, while honoring our nation's veterans and participating in a project of historical significance.
"1000 Voices Initiative"
The Library of Congress is seeking to capture the experiences that formed our nation from those that lived them. Over 1,700 veterans are passing away every day - each one a unique story - lost forever. If you have a relative, friend, or neighbor who is a veteran, help preserve their story by joining the group of volunteers who are participating in a ongoing program called the "1000 Voices Initiative".
Participating is easy. Record a veteran's story, transcribe it and send the recorded story, transcribed interview, ASCII discs, and forms to Beth Kilker at NCRF. And you can get free CEUs!
