The newest member of the Veterans Curation Program family, the U.S. Army Engineer Research Development Center’s (ERDC) Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL), joined the VCP in 2023. It represents a new direction for the Veterans Curation Program, as the collections our technicians process at this lab are not archaeological in nature. ERDC CERL collections are comprised of archives related to the engineering that goes into developing technology for Department of Defense facilities and training lands.
