Individual Submission

The Texas Record Project welcomes your personal submissions. We will accept original photographs and will return them to you within 2-4 weeks of receiving them. Electronic submissions must conform to our electronic submission guidelines. Please contact us at submissions@texasrecord.org.

We are not responsible for lost, stolen, or destroyed images. Please read and sign our submittal form before sending any images.


Institutional Submissions

If you are an institution, please contact us at submissions@texasrecord.org. We prefer you send us the images in original form for us to electronically record. We can, however, arrange to come to you if you have one-hundred or more images. Electronic submissions must conform to our electronic submission guidelines.

We have a press kit available. Download Press Kit (580k).


Conventional Submission Instructions

Please include as much information about each image as possible. We can arrange, and would prefer, you enter the information directly into our image database. This can be done after the images are photographed and posted.

If you have questions about submissions, please contact us at submissions@texasrecord.org. Images should be sent, along with your submittal form, to:
