Community Involvement
- Preserve history through digitization.
Volunteer for Archival Digitization
Support our archival preservation efforts by digitizing manuscripts, photographs, letters, and rare documents. Volunteers assist with scanning, metadata entry, file organization, and basic quality checks, helping make historical materials accessible to future generations.
Digitization Volunteers Needed
Volunteer for Archival Digitization
The recordings collected through this initiative form part of a secure and curated heritage repository. These narratives help broaden historical understanding, fill archival gaps, and offer invaluable perspectives for educators, scholars, documentary filmmakers, genealogists, and cultural historians. By contributing to this effort, volunteers help capture stories that deepen our connection to the past and strengthen our responsibility to preserve it.
The Oral History Recording Initiative invites volunteers and researchers to collect and preserve personal narratives from veterans, families, and community elders. These recordings capture valuable memories, cultural knowledge, and historical insights. Participants receive training in interviewing techniques, audio/video handling, consent procedures, and archival submission. The collected stories become part of a protected heritage archive accessible for future research, education, and public understanding.
Youth Patriotism Leadership Program
The Youth Patriotism Leadership Program is designed to nurture the next generation of civic-minded leaders by instilling values of responsibility, service, historical awareness, and national pride. Through structured workshops, interactive discussions, heritage education modules, and leadership simulations, young participants gain valuable skills in communication, teamwork, decision-making, and community service.
The program provides opportunities to learn from historians, veterans, educators, and industry professionals who share real-world insights into leadership, ethics, and nation-building. Participants engage in hands-on projects such as community outreach, heritage documentation, environmental care initiatives, and event organization—experiences that foster confidence and a sense of civic duty.
INA Descendants Registry
Families can submit authenticated details, historical records, or oral histories that help researchers and historians understand undocumented contributions to the freedom movement. The registry also provides descendants with opportunities to access curated archival resources, participate in heritage events, engage with scholarly initiatives, and collaborate in the preservation of their family’s patriotic legacy.
All information submitted is stored securely, following strict privacy and verification standards. Participation is voluntary, and contributors maintain full ownership of their submitted materials. The registry ultimately aims to honor the sacrifices of INA members, strengthen community connections, and ensure that their stories remain accessible and respected for generations to come. Register your family’s connection to the Indian National Army and help preserve generational history for research, recognition, and heritage documentation.
