About this project
How the Korean War & Military Brides Project came together, how interviews are recorded, and how to contribute.
Origins
EXAMPLE — replace. How you came to this work: a family connection, a research question, a gap you noticed in the existing record.
Method
Interviews are recorded in person where possible and remotely where not. Narrators review their own interview before it is published, and may withdraw or restrict any part of it at any time. Recordings are published in full rather than edited into a narrative, so that the pacing and digressions of each account are preserved.
EXAMPLE — replace with your actual practice: consent forms, transcription, translation between Korean and English, where masters are stored.
A note on language
"War bride" is the term used in the immigration records and press of the period, and it is the phrase most narrators recognize. It is used here for that reason, with an awareness that it was not always a term the women chose for themselves.
Who is behind it
EXAMPLE — replace. Your name, background, and any institution, department, or collaborators involved.
Acknowledgements
EXAMPLE — replace. Funders, archives, advisers, and above all the narrators and families who shared their materials.
Contact & participation
The project is actively seeking narrators, family materials, and leads. If you are a Korean war bride, a descendant, a researcher, or an archivist, please write.
