Other Visionary elders, known primarily in their local communities, are selected and interviewed by NVLP college Fellows. This invaluable primary source material is accessible worldwide on the NVLP website, and permanently archived at the Library of Congress, allowing students, scholars and the public to gain a whole new understanding of this country's past, and the lessons to be learned from it. Access Copy Note: Transcripts and photographs are available. Videos are currently not yet accessible except for clips on the NVLP website. Each interview has a record in the Library of Congress online catalog.
