In addition to audio- and video-recorded oral history interviews, VHP accepts memoirs and collections of original photographs, letters, diaries, maps and other historical documents from veterans who served in the US armed services from World War I through the present.
The Project makes accessible the materials that comprise this important national archive, which contains submissions from every state, and includes the US territories.
