The Veterans Curation Program provides vocational rehabilitation and innovative training for wounded and disabled veterans using archaeological collections administered by the Corps. Veterans working at the Augusta lab are being trained in computer, photographic, and scanning technologies, as well as modern archiving techniques. Work performed by participating veterans helps rehabilitate the Corps' archaeological collections and associated records. The technical skills learned at the lab will be transferrable to potential future jobs outside the lab. For more information on the VCP, visit www.veteranscurationprogram.org.
