ALLVETS
ALLVETS was a non-profit organization, founded in 2015 by the late Jim Bean, a Vietnam veteran, to collect the stories of local veterans. This work was continued by his wife Linda after his death in 2017 until 2025. Their monthly meetings documented hundreds of veterans stories. These video recordings are available in the History Center archives.
While ALLVETS is no longer active, the History Center honors this legacy by continuing to offer opportunities for military veterans to share their story through oral history interviewing and public presentations. If you are interested in sharing your experiences with the History Center, please contact Nicole Smith at nsmith@yorkhistorycenter.org. If you would like to access past records of veterans oral histories, please contact the Library & Archives.
