Liam Ambrose VLP spring 2026

            Hello everyone, this is now week 11 of my internship with UCF’s Veteran’s Legacy Program. I hope you all had a good spring break from last week, I did not have the most eventful spring break but nevertheless I was glad to be able to get a chance to relax. But now it appears that we are in the home stretch, with next week being the start of April. It means that there is only one last month before the end of the semester. Bearing that in mind I’m glad to have gotten a break as I know that with both classwork and the internship I expect it's going to be a busy month. Regarding my internship, this week has mainly served to lay out all that I can expect to work on for this last month so without further ado I shall tell you all what I will be working on. First of all, I will give a brief update on the projects I have been working on already. Over the break I did some metadata on items scanned at the MMH and I will soon start going there again to ...

       Hello everyone, this is now week 9 of my internship with UCF’s Veterans Legacy Program, and we are already at spring break. I feel like I’ve said this a lot but I am nothing but astonished by how fast this year has been going by, I feel like midterms were yesterday but it’s been two weeks.

This is a new development and the team will discuss more about VLM after the break so I will update you all when I have more information The next thing I will be talking about is the thing that I mentioned in last week’s post that I was most look...

            Hello everyone, this is now week 8 of my internship with UCF’s Veterans Legacy Program. Last week I didn’t have a whole lot to talk about, but as I predicted in my last post this week I was much more busy both with working on midterms but also there has been an exciting new development with my internship. But first I’ll get the usual out of the way. On Wednesday I did metadata and scanning at the Museum of Military History in Kissimmee, our team had finished the scanning and metadata for the collection on the first veteran we were working on so now we moved on to a new set of veterans and their documents, so that will show some new and interesting sources but the work itself remains largely similar which has gotten me down to a routine, which I don’t overly mind. And furthermore I still am going to be working on creating pdfs for VLM even if we still don’t have the go ahead from the VA to upload them. But now it's time to talk about somethi...
