The full potential of In Their Words testimonies could not be realized without the creation of an efficient means for coming generations to search through the hundreds of hours of interviews. With the assistance of Dr. Roger Pauly, associate professor of history at the University of Central Arkansas, and Randforce Associates in Buffalo, New York, a coding system of search terms was created.

Users of the web site will be able to search by phase of the war (e.g. Basic Training or Embarkation), type of stories (e.g. Interaction with enemy or Interaction with officers), as well as the perspective from which the story is told (e.g. humorous or religious). Key word searches will include the names of towns and other geographical locations (e.g. Paris, France, Leyte Gulf) and battles (e.g. Battle of the Bulge, Battle of Midway).

The completed visual history web site will offer a unique historical perspective to anyone studying the Second World War. Users of the site will begin equating terms such as "Concentration Camp" with the first hand testimony provided by Arkansas World War II veterans. No longer a distant event, the war years will come alive as a meaningful chronicle of who we were and what we learned.
