Use the contact form below to reach out and begin the process of your digital submission to the archive. This will let us talk about your submission, the specifics of the item, and what will be best to highlight in the Archive.

As a rule of thumb, we always want to capture and include,

• Pre 1990s product in any condition
• Local goods and limited edition items from China and Korea
• Ephemera, papers, and documents that share the history of camping

Once approved, we'll send a link to where the photos can be uploaded.

Lay down a white backdrop on the floor. This can be anything as long as it's smooth, clean and leaves space around your subject.

A Tripod can be helpful, though not required.

Natural light is best when diffused. If you don't have a diffuser, this can be done with semi-closed blinds/curtains.

Ensure that your camera is setup to the below settings:

• Make sure that your image quality and/or size are set to RAW
• Turn off any filters, color profiles, or adjustments that may be embedded
• Use a lens with a focal length longer than a 40mm equivalent stopped down to a minimum of f/5.6

Take the primary photo with your camera pointed straight down onto the subject with white space on all four side.

Secondary photos should focus on close up details and accessories and can be shot at any angle that highlights the detail best. Again, make sure there is white space surrounding the subject.

After capturing and selecting 3-7 photos, upload the raw files to the link shared with you.
