Plain-English Summary

The proposal would create a new office within the Department of Veterans Affairs dedicated to documenting and preserving the history of the VA and veterans' experiences. This History Office would be responsible for collecting records, conducting research, and making historical information available to the public and researchers. The change would help ensure that the VA's institutional knowledge and veterans' stories are properly maintained for future generations.
