Should I submit electronic versions of documents and photos as well as printed versions? What electronic formats are preferred?
If you have documents in electronic formats as well as on paper, please submit both. Please include a “hard copy” of photographic images: preferably original photos or if necessary high-quality, clear prints on photographic or bond paper. This ensures the clarity of images and makes the items more useful to researchers. Please do not send photocopies. Textual documents should be saved as either plain text (.txt or .rtf file extensions) or other commonly available formats including Microsoft Word or WordPerfect formats. PDF files as well as TIFF, JPEG, and GIF formats are also acceptable. • My father was a veteran, but he has passed away. Can he be included or can I be interviewed on his behalf? Also, I have a number of photographs that he took during his time in the service, as well as a memoir that he wrote about his experiences. Can I donate these items to the Veterans History Project? The Veterans History Project accepts original photographs, memoirs, diaries, correspondence, etc. “
