“We Remember Them”—Artifacts and Documents from the First World War Roadshow
Time: 10 am-12 pm
Location: USU Logan Main Campus, space TBD
We invite all residents of the Cache Valley and the surrounding area to look through their attics, basements, and spare boxes for any material associated with the First World War. We welcome anyone with a diary or correspondence or poem or song or artwork or photograph from someone who lived through 1914-1918; any souvenirs from that time; any items brought home from volunteer activity, training camps, or service overseas; and above all, the family stories that accompany them. This initiative is modeled on the “Lest We Forget” project at the University of Oxford and we share its mission: “to gather personal stories of World War One told through photographs, diaries, letters, mementos, and the memories and oral histories passed down through families.”
