Share Your Cold War Story: In-Person Interviews on November 7
NICWS and the East Baton Rouge Parish Library are collecting oral histories from people who lived through the Cold War.
Saturday, November 7, 2026
10 a.m.–2 p.m.
Main Library at Goodwood
7711 Goodwood Blvd., Baton Rouge
Did you participate in the Cold War? Perhaps you served in the Armed Forces, lived overseas because a loved one was in the military, or worked in a critical industry or a government agency such as the State Department. Your experience is part of the historical record.
Interviews last about 30 minutes and are recorded so your account can be preserved for future researchers and the public. Participation is voluntary. You’re welcome to bring photographs, letters, or other items connected to your experience.
Can’t attend in person? You can share your story anytime through our online form.
