Center for the Study of

Tennesseans and War

The Center for the Study of Tennesseans and War is located in Hoskins Library at the University of Tennessee.  It is our mission to research, preserve, and share the stories of all the people in Tennessee who have been involved in wars between 1700 and the present day.  Researching these stories gives us a better understanding of how wars have shaped the contours of life in our region.  People in our area have changed the fate of the world, as well.  Preserving these stories helps us to study the past.  Sharing these stories enables us to fulfill the mission of the University of Tennessee.

The Center accomplishes these goals by offering UTK students an internship program through the Department of History.
