The Congressionally mandated project collects, preserves, and makes accessible the personal accounts of American war veterans.  To learn more about the collections, visit the Veterans History Project homepage.

Prior to moving to Washington, D.C., Jason worked in the New York museum and archives world for nearly eight years. He began his career as an assistant curator at the Museum of Jewish Heritage - A Living Memorial to the Holocaust, then started his own independent museum and archives consulting practice. Past projects include the award-winning exhibition  "Ours to Fight For: American Jews in the Second World War" (Museum of Jewish Heritage); the critically-acclaimed exhibition "Lincoln and New York" (New-York Historical Society); and archival projects for the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame, Yeshiva University, and Museo Judio de Sosua in Sosua, Dominican Republic.  He has delivered many lectures at conferences and meetings in connection with his work, and has been interviewed for several publications and media outlets.

Outside of his public history work, Jason fronts the indie rock band Studio E. The band's debut CD is available worldwide on iTunes and Amazon.
