The AAFES History Program needs volunteers
to help collect and preserve our history

AAFES history can be told through:
Personal narratives: audio/video-taped interviews and written memoirs.
Correspondence: letters, postcards, e-mail, personal diaries
Visual images: photographs, locally produced signing and sales flyers

How to participate:
Download and print the AAFES history preservation packet (PDF). This packet
provides information on conducting oral history interviews, forms for donations of audio/video recordings and photos and documents, plus interview questions and memoir writing guidance.
