The "Nam" Project is dedicated to helping scholars, historians, students of history, and veterans of this quagmire find a depository of information related to its study. This effort includes an array of historical texts, literature, music, and film from various sources.
There are several aspects of the website that I find appealing. The easy access to the content materials is my favorite. I especially like the music PLAYLIST and list of movies that pertain to the Vietnam War. Some of the songs I already knew but had no idea it was about the war. I can certainly see and appreciate the incredible amount of detail and research that was put into this project.
This website is very helpful and I love the extra addition of music and book recommendations as well. Those are fun touches that make me more interested in the subject. I appreciate that all the information is in timeline form as well and I was worried that that might make it hard to find information by category without having to scroll through the entire timeline but I noticed the search bar and I find that really helpful as well.
This website is well done and it brings up old memories and feelings. I was in the US Army (1965-1967) and recall many of the themes and songs conveyed. What I like about THE NAM PROJECT is the tremendous amount of work put forth in covering such a dark period in our nation’s history. THE NAM PROJECT serves as a permanent internet depository for new generations to appreciate. It is a historic record without a political point of view, as it should. More importantly, it is dedicated to readers, students, and historians and information seekers in general.

Very well put together website. I enjoy the ease of use and the fact that it shows many aspects of the war itself. As an AP US History teacher I am grateful for the abundance of material that I can utilize when I teach about the Vietnam War. My students and I are particularly interested in the ORAL HISTORIES section. It is so impactful to hear actual testimonies of those who fought.
