Digitization Initiative

Know the Past...Shape the Future

AFHF has initiated fundraising for our latest, greatest endeavor. As Board President I am spearheading a nationwide digitization project related specifically to the preservation and integration of airpower history archives across the country. This is happening on two fronts: 1) Identification and registration of photo, document, film, and audio collections small and large. 2) Create an AI driven portal program that will link historical archives together and simplify searches for data as it relates to airpower history stored in archives everywhere. We are currently seeking sponsors to get this program off the ground. You can donate specifically to the this program at : https://afhistory.org/support/donate/

As you can see, AFHF is reaching higher and faster as we develop innovative programs and richer content for our membership that is now approaching 7,000 individuals.

Creating and sustaining this kind of content takes considerable time and money. Please consider increasing your membership level to support these efforts. Another financial option is a targeted donation where you may select how your donation is allocated (Research and Education, Digital Archives Publishing, Podcast, Awards and Scholarships, Key Programs and Partnerships, and Special Events are all possibilities.)
