You are being asked to contribute your recollections to the 4/16 Digital Library, which is developing a permanent digital record of the events surrounding the tragedy on the Virginia Tech campus on April 16, 2007. Your participation in this project will allow future historians, researchers, and people such as yourself, to gain a greater understanding of these events and the responses to them.
You must be 13 years of age or older to submit material to us. Your submission of material constitutes your permission for, and consent to, its dissemination and use in connection with the library in all media in perpetuity. If you have so indicated on the form, your material will be published on the library website (with or without your name, depending on what you have indicated). Otherwise, your response will only be available to approved researchers using the collection. The material you submit and mark as created by you must be wholly original, and shall not be copied from or based, in whole or in part, upon any other photographic, literary, or other material, except to the extent that such material is in the public domain.
By submitting material to the 4/16 Digital Library you release, discharge, and agree to hold harmless the 4/16 Digital Library and persons acting under its permission or authority, including a public library or archive to which the collection might be donated for purposes of long-term preservation, from any claims or liability arising out the Archive's use of the material, including, without limitation, claims for violation of privacy, defamation, or misrepresentation.
The 4/16 Digital Library has no obligation to use your material.
