Contribute

The archive grows through the collectors, researchers, veterans, artists and families who write in. Every record here started as a tip, a scan or a recording from someone.

How to help

A record we don't have. Know of a song, spoken-word record or album that references the Vietnam War and isn't in the archive? Send the artist, title and label (and a catalogue number if you have it) — suggest a record.

Scans and recordings. Label scans, picture sleeves, inserts, or an audio transfer of a record we list but can't hear. Share them with a Google Drive, Dropbox or WeTransfer link through the contact form, or by email.

Translations and lyrics. Songs in Vietnamese, Spanish, German, Japanese and other languages benefit from native-speaker translations and transcriptions.

Corrections. A wrong date, label, location or credit — tell us and it will be fixed on the next update.

Edwin Starr's "War", Pete Seeger's "I Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Die Rag" and CCR's "Fortunate Son" — the records the project began with.
