History
Responsibilities of an American Legion Auxiliary Historian
The recording of the American Legion Auxiliary’s history at all levels (unit, district/county/council, 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
- Work with the Junior Activities chairman to promote the History Patch available to Junior members in 9th – 12th grades.
- Encourage Senior and Junior historians to participate in the Veterans History Project
