DEPARTMENT OF WISCONSIN


HISTORIAN
The recording of the American Legion Auxiliary’s history at all levels (unit, county, district, department, and national) is important so that everyone will know who we are, what we do, and why we matter. Other responsibilities of a historian are:
-
Assist in developing a system to archive important communications such as newsletters, handbooks, guidebooks, brochures, and program information
-
Participate in and promote the “Members Remember” history project
-
Encourage Senior historians to participate in the Veterans History Project
