What to submit
 
Many of us have kept a variety of items from our service aboard the T-AGS.  The T-AGS site would like to post them all.  Here is a partial list of what we have posted or would like to post:
 

  • Digital copies of photographic prints,  black and white and color.  In general the quality of the print should determine the resolution at which the prints are scanned, but this is highly subjective.  I suggest scanning at a resolution of 300 dpi and 24-bit color, or 8-bit grayscale for black and white.

  • Digital copies of photographic slides.  I suggest scanning slides at a resolution of at least 1200 dpi and 24-bit color.

  • Digital copies of photographic negatives.  I suggest scanning negatives at a resolution of at least 1200 dpi and 24-bit color, or 8-bit grayscale for black and white.

  • Ship's newspapers.

  • Documents such as menus, watch bills, OcUnit and ship's memos, telegraphs, maintenance assignments, etc.

  • Personal documents such as course graduation certificates, citations, commendations, Shellback certificates.

  • Photos of memorabilia such as coffee cups, ash trays, mugs, lighters, patches, matchbook covers, special post cards, postal covers, etc., related to the ships, units or ports of call.

  • Photos of souveniers.

  • Stories, reminiscences or sea stories about you experiences.

  • Technical details about the ships, the equipment and the mission.  Technical manuals.

  • Blueprints, drawings or descriptions of the ships' architecture and the layout of spaces aboard the ships.  Details of changes made to the ships during yard periods.

 

How to submit
 

  • Attach files to email. You can attach multiple files, but I suggest keeping the size of each email to less than 10MB and send multiple emails.  Emails should be sent to the TAGS site admin Earl Adams at "earl@tags-21.info" or "earl@earlgadams.com" .

  • Transfer using FTP. This is the best choice for a large number of files. If you’d like to use FTP, let me know and I’ll establish an account for you.

  • Copy files to a DVD and mail the DVD to me.

  • If you cannot scan your items, you can send the original material to me and I will do it. I’ve done this now for five of our shipmates. I’ll treat your material with respect and return within a few days. 

  • Commercial services are also available to digitize prints, slides, negatives and videos.  One such is DigMyPics at http://www.digmypics.com/.
