What if I forgot to include something? Can I add to an existing collection?

Yes. When submitting additional materials, be sure to enclose a note instructing Veterans History Project (VHP) staff to “add to an existing collection.” If the addition is more than 50 items please review “Does the Veterans History Project accept larger collections?

When you send the addition, please Include the veteran's name and VHP collection number. There is no need to complete the Biographical Data or Release forms when submitting items to an existing collection.
