These forms require
the
Adobe Acrobat
Reader. They are required to be included with your project.
This Project Kit includes all the information
and forms you need to participate as a volunteer interviewer in the Veterans
History Project. Because the interviews and other documentation you collect will
become part of the permanent historical record of our nation, we ask that you
follow carefully the instructions in this kit to ensure that your recordings
last and will be accessible to researchers and the public, both now and in the
future. Your cooperation will greatly assist the South Texas Archives and
Special Collections and Texas A&M University-Kingsville in organizing and
cataloging this large and important collection.
We especially remind you that release forms must be signed by the veteran or
civilian who was interviewed and by the interviewer or collector who donates the
material to the South Texas Archives at Texas A&M University-Kingsville.
Materials without release forms will be returned. Signed release forms allow the
materials to be used by researchers in the Archives and to be included in
exhibitions and presentations if applicable.
In addition, a Biographical Data Form must be completed for each veteran or
civilian who was interviewed. By completing this form, you provide us with the
information we need to include your interview subjects in our National Registry
of Service honoring their wartime contributions and their participation in the
Veterans History Project. Similarly, the information you supply on our Audio and
Video Recording Log, Photograph Log, and Manuscript Data Sheet assists us in
preparing a description of your interviews, photographs, diaries, letters, and
other documents for inclusion in our catalog.
All interviews and related documentation need to be given to the South Texas
Archives at Texas A&M University-Kingsville to be considered part of the
Veterans History Collection. We must obtain from you a completed Biographical
Data Form and the name of the interviewer for each veteran or civilian.
This information ensures that we can include your collection in the collection
at the South Texas Archives. It is not necessary to send any log forms or
additional information.
Please follow the links at the top of this page to work your way through the
registration forms. You are encouraged to make printouts of the forms for your
personal use.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss with us your ideas and
plans, please contact us.
Thank you for joining us in this important project.
