Introducing the U.S. Capitol Historical Society’s “January 6 Oral History Project”

The events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 were among the most significant—and tragic—in American history. To ensure that their stories are never lost to time, the U.S. Capitol Historical Society is conducting an Oral History Project to preserve these memories, and their lessons, for future generations of American citizens, scholars, and patriots.

To help preserve the history of that fateful day, please visit our new website at January6History.org and consider telling your story or contributing financial support for the U.S. Capitol Historical Society’s “January 6 Oral History Project.”
