About the Author

My name is N. Trent Chamberlain. I am a History Student at UCF and a Navy Veteran.

Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

The purpose of this project was to be able to learn about public history in a military history setting. The two key activities that I did were; creating an exhibit for a fellow Navy Veteran, and helping with an Oral History event at the museum where we heard from two World War II veterans. The exhibit was especially important to me as it helped me to tell the story of a fellow Navy Veteran. It was also a helpful experience for me to be able to create all of the advertising for the oral history event. These projects helped me to refine my public history skills and helped me learn about the accessioning and curation processes that local museums go through.
