Help Bring Remembrance to Life
Bring a meaningful, curriculum-aligned remembrance project into your classroom. Students conduct real historical research, build evidence-based profiles, and contribute to a growing national collection.
Teachers and Schools
Take on the role of a historical detective. You'll be assigned a name from a local memorial, explore historical records, and uncover the person behind the name.
Students
Photographs, letters, family records, newspaper clippings, and local knowledge can all help complete a story. If you have information that could assist student researchers, we'd love to hear from you.
Contributors
Help ensure profiles are accurate, evidence-based, and ready for publication. Historians, librarians, archivists, museum professionals, veterans, educators, and local researchers all have an important role to play.
Verifiers
Bring together schools, museums, historical societies, libraries, community organizations, and volunteers to document and preserve your community remembrance culture.
