The Pension Project
The Museum of the American Revolution paired present-day veterans with pension accounts from Revolutionary War veterans, asking them to read the accounts and reflect on what has changed — and what still resonates. The resulting virtual video exhibit connects personal stories across three centuries, including veterans whose service or identity offers a particularly close point of comparison.
Why it worked: It hit Veterans Day with a clean format: living veterans reading 200-year-old first-person testimonies, creating instant then-versus-now tension.
The lesson: Consider pairing contemporary voices with archival first-person accounts in short videos, released on a relevant calendar hook for instant contrast.
