For those interested in more information about how the Vietnam War impacted Dartmouth College and our classmates and college friends, here are some resources.
The Dartmouth Vietnam Project (DVP)
- The DVP has a collection of 136 recorded interviews, done as part of a course (History 10.03) that focused on understanding the War in Vietnam through oral histories. https://dvp.dartmouth.edu/s/dvp/page/welcome
- An exhibit from the DVP focused on dissent: https://course-exhibits.library.dartmouth.edu/s/HIST10_20F/page/Mortenson05
- An exhibit from the DVP focused on the takeover of Parkhurst: https://course-exhibits.library.dartmouth.edu/s/HIST10_23S/page/activism
- A bibliography from DVP:
A panel discussion from the 50th Reunion of the Class of 1964: Dartmouth ‘64s and the Vietnam War: A Panel Discussion with Students in History 26 (it takes a while to load - be patient)
Two sets of newspaper clippings from that era:
- Part 1:
- Part 2:
James Wright's book Enduring Vietnam: https://www.amazon.com/Enduring-Vietnam-American-Generation-Its/dp/1250092485
