What paperwork does the Veterans History Project require, and why?

The Library of Congress requires the following forms for each veteran's collection in order to clarify how the Library can use the collection and facilitate access for researchers. It also guarantees veterans’ legal copyright to their materials. The Veterans History Project (VHP) will return collections to the contributor if they do not include the required forms:

Access all forms on the VHP Field Kit web page
