How to Participate
Did you or a member of your family from any
HCPD is producing a Central West Virginia Veterans book to provide a reference
of the Central West Virginia veterans who served in the Armed Forces of the
United States during the 20th and 21st century. The book (or books) will
include military data, basic family information, and pictures of Veterans who
served from
We
can collect and enter the data, format it and publish it; but the basic data
only exists with the Veterans, their families or friends. Therefore, to
insure that no one is left out, we request that those people who desire their
Veteran to be included provide us the necessary information by completing this
printable form and submitting it, along with a picture of the Veteran (if
available) to the Central West Virginia Genealogy and History Library (HCPD
Library). While pictures of the Veteran
in uniform are preferred, we understand that these are not always available;
so, any decent quality picture of the veteran would be acceptable.
The information may be submitted by:
- Delivery in person to:
Horner, WV 26372
- US Postal Service mail to the above address. If this method is used, please submit an SASE so we can confirm receipt of your information.
or
- By completing this electronic form, then sending it. Please follow up with a separate e-mail of your scanned photograph to our Executive Director.
A
word about the pictures:
Pictures WILL NOT be returned. Therefore, do NOT submit original pictures.
Photocopies are NOT
acceptable because they will not print in acceptable manner. You will either need to take your original
and have a copy made or scan the picture with a computer and submit the scan.
While scanned pictures may be submitted as prints, we would prefer the scan on
a disk because the printed quality will be better.
Deadline for submission: Though we hope to have enough submissions to complete the first volume in 2005, no deadline has been set. When we get enough submissions to do the book, we will have it printed.
Offering the book for sale: When we are near our goal, we will notify submitters by mail of the book’s availability and begin to advertise it to the public. Cost of the book will depend upon printing costs at the time we are ready to reprint.
