Before you begin writing or editing articles, the first thing that anyone can do to contribute is by signing up to make an account.
In any case, this is one of the main ways that anyone with an account could contribute to the WWII Archives. As mentioned in the front page, you can write about anything you want as long as it pertains to something within or relating to something within the WWII era. You can write everything about your grandparents or great-grandparents, maybe someone in your hometown that was a WWII veteran, or even about your hometown itself during the war. If you have a particular passion about some event in the war or something else, it is encouraged that you write and research about it! As mentioned above, you must sign up before you are given ability to write. While signing up, you must read the WAMoS, or the WWII Archives Manual of Style (In the sign up process it shows the short version of the WAMoS. It is recommended that you also see the full version) for more information and details). This lays out the basic rules of the historical process, what is expected, and how to research, write, edit, and cite articles.
