What material is the VHP unable to accept?
Our collection is primarily digital, and consists of the interviews themselves and the files that we create (summaries, outlines, transcripts) for the benefit of researchers and other users. We are also interested in letters, diaries, photographs, home movies, and other documents relating to the interview. These materials may be digitized and posted on the website, along with the interview files. You can bring in original or digitized copies, or clean photocopies. If you have original materials that you would like to keep, we would be able to make copies if you are willing to lend the materials to us. In that case, your original materials would be returned to you. What we cannot use are published materials or physical artifacts (uniforms, equipment, etc.), as we do not have adequate storage facilities for such materials.
