Instructions for Scanning or Photographing Your Contribution

If you are submitting a photograph that is already available digitally, please plan to upload the file directly to the form below.

If you would like to contribute a photograph that you only have available as a physical item, here are short instructions for either scanning that physical photograph or taking a digital photograph of that physical photograph.

Do you have access to a scanner?

If you have access to a scanner, we recommend scanning your photograph contribution at 600 dpi/ppi, and saving the file as a JPG. For this pilot project we are only able to accept contributions of JPG files and most image file formats, with the exception of TIF files.

If you don’t have a scanner

If you don’t have access to a scanner, we recommend taking a digital photograph with a digital camera or smart phone and submitting that in the form below. When photographing the physical item, try to minimize glare from lights, windows, or flash from your camera.

Image Files to Upload

For the purposes of this documentation project, please upload high-resolution JPG files if possible. Please do not edit, correct, crop, or enhance images prior to upload. For this pilot project we are able to accept contributions of JPG files and most image file formats, with the exception of TIF files.

Naming the Files Before Uploading

To help us track your files correctly in our system, if possible please include your last name as part of the file name for the photograph you are submitting.

After you have submitted a single photograph, you will receive a message inviting you to return to the site to submit an additional photograph.
