Curious about the Digital Archive of Literacy Narratives' online submission process? Perhaps you're thinking about submitting your own literacy narrative, teaching with literacy narratives, or hoping to help others share their stories? This short video walk-through will give you a tour of the online submission process, which can be completed from any computer with Internet access!
The process doesn't take long, but it does include several important steps:
1. Consent to have your literacy narrative included in the archive
2. Opportunities to add optional descriptions, keywords, and demographic data that become searchable in the archive, making your narrative easier for others to access and giving you opportunities to describe the narrative as you wish
3. Uploading your literacy narrative file (or multiple files, if you wish!) to the DALN server
4. A Deed of Gift declaration and an option to attach Creative Commons licenses to your narrative.

Finally, if you are helping others share their stories in an environment with limited computer access, you may find the print versions of the DALN submission forms useful. They are identical in content to the online submission process.
