Old Military Photos Request

Dating Old Military Photos Project

Discovering Family History, in conjunction with our sister publications Internet Genealogy and Family Chronicle , is looking for old military uniform photographs of your ancestors for a tentative book (similar to our bestselling Dating Old Photographs series).

If you have photos you would like to submit, and they were taken between the Mexican-American War and the end of World War One, we want to hear from you! Please do not send images from World War Two. Please note: The picture doesn't have to depict an American soldier.

Please note: Include as much pertinent data as possible: subject’s name, regiment, unit, conflict, etc. We are unable to date/identify unknown subjects and these will not be used.

We will credit all photos used and send two copies of the publication to each person whose photos we use. Do not send images where the date / conflict / regiment / army has to be guessed or is unknown. Please do not send us original photos, as they will not be returned. Copies made on a color photocopier are okay. If you have access to a scanner, you can send us a CD/disk (PC format) or attach an image file (JPEG, 200 dpi or higher, no more than three attachments) via e-mail (preferred). More than one e-mail is acceptable. Please include complete name and address of sender with e-mail or mail-in submissions.

E-mail photos to militaryphotos@moorshead.com.

Mail photos to Discovering Family History, PO Box 194, Niagara Falls, NY 14304 (USA) or,
Discovering Family History, 505 Consumers Road, Suite 500, Toronto, ON M2J 4V8 (Canada).

We regret that we cannot accept original photos as these will not be returned.
