Emerging Scholars - The Many Voices of War

The Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum and the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library and Museum hosted the National Archives & Records Administration’s Second Annual Virtual Vietnam War Symposium September 8–9, 2026.

The Vietnam War lasted nearly 20 years, drawing in soldiers and civilians, young and old, from many nations and backgrounds, each with unique wartime experiences. The symposium sought to enhance scholarship on the Vietnam War by exploring stories of the conflict beyond combat strategy and tactics, with a focus on research from new and emerging scholars.
