UCA historian directs Arkansas WWII documentary project

Roger Pauly, a history professor in UCA’s College of Liberal Arts, has served as the project historian for the AETN original documentary “Their Journey,” an Arkansas accompaniment to “The War,” the new Ken Burns film about World War II currently airing on PBS.

Pauly’s supervisory duties for “Their Journey” also included the creation of an online oral history project called “In Their Words,” as well as a related exhibit at AETN’s headquarters.

“Their Journey” will be broadcast again this Saturday, Sept. 29 at 5:30 p.m., and the exhibit will open this Thursday, Sept. 27, with a free public reception from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. For more information about the event, contact Darbi at dblencowe@aetn.org or call 1-800-662-2386.
