Frequently Asked Questions: Veterans History Project

Browse some of the most frequently asked questions answered by our subject specialists.

My photos were taken on a digital camera. Can I submit those in a digital format?

Yes. Items that are “born digital” should be submitted digitally, on a CD, DVD or USB (flash/thumb) drive.

We ask that you also submit printed hard copies in addition to the digital files, but not in place of them.
