Our Mission
The Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims Historical Society was established in 2016 and is devoted to the purposes of collecting, preserving, and expanding public awareness of the rich history of the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims: a history that includes playing a pivotal role in the resolution of veterans’ claims. The Society, a private non-profit organization, accomplishes its mission by conducting educational programs aimed at practitioners, scholars, historians, and the general public. The Society furthers its purposes by supporting research, preserving artifacts, and publishing materials, both electronic and in print, that increase public awareness of the contributions the Court has made to our nation’s veterans. Support of the Society’s programs comes through contributions from its members and gifts and grants from individuals, foundations, corporations, and law firms.
