Peace Corps 50th Anniversary Archive


In honor of Peace Corps’ 50th anniversary, Peace Corps invites you to share a story from your Peace Corps experience. Stories will be collected from Volunteers serving in each generation of the Peace Corps, from the 1960s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and on through to the present.


You can also submit photos related to your Peace Corps service. By sharing a story and photos that reflect your unique experience in the place and time you served, you will help enrich Americans’ understanding of what it means to have been a Peace Corps Volunteer. Many of the stories and photos submitted to the archive will be used to honor and celebrate our legacy of service during Peace Corps’ 50th anniversary celebration in 2011, and the 50th Anniversary Archive collection will be maintained as part of the Peace Corps’ permanent archives. Archive materials will be accessible to the public through the Peace Corps website, and will be shared with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).


We are currently accepting electronic submission of stories and photos from Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs). If you are not an RPCV but would like to submit material to the archive, please contact us at archive@peacecorps.gov.


If you are an RPCV, please read the complete submission guidelines for details on what we are collecting and how to submit your materials.


We recommend you prepare your story and photos before beginning the online submission process. It may take up to 30 minutes to submit materials.


Please review the Peace Corps 50th Anniversary Archive Project Material Submission Authorization and Agreement before continuing. Contributors must accept the terms of the agreement during the submission process in order to upload items to the archive.
