How do I start the process of submitting a collection to the Veterans History Project (VHP)?

Read the VHP Field Kit and review the eight-minute-long VHP Field Kit Companion Video.  

The Companion Video is also available via the Library's YouTube channel.   

Printed versions of the Field Kit are available in limited quantities. To order a printed version, please email vohp@loc.gov or call 888-371-5848. Please allow up to two weeks for delivery.
