Jacob Furr was born in Fort Worth, Texas and has been a student assistant at the Vietnam Archive since August 2006. Jacob was originally hired by the Vietnam Archive to digitize collections for the Virtual Vietnam Archive, but moved to collection processing for the archive in Spring 2007. Jacob will soon be leaving the Vietnam Archive as he will receive his BA in History this month. In fact, it was his interest in 20th Century American history that initially led him to the Vietnam Archive where he has done a tremendous job. Jacob is not sure what his future plans will be, but he is contemplating a graduate degree in History. Whatever he decides, we wish Jacob the best and know he will be a success.
