During the years 2013-2021, submitting Harkive stories via any of the methods below indicated also that you have read and understood our Research Ethics documentation and are providing your Informed Consent to participate in this study. For the purposes of the 2022 instance of the project, Harkive is not aligned to an official academic study because project founder Craig Hamilton no longer works as an academic. The project is continuing, however, in the interests of continuity. The data gathered in 2022 will be added to that gathered in previous years and by contributing your story you are indicating that you allow the data to be analysed at a future point. If you have questions before proceeding, please contact info@harkive.org
You can email your story to submit@harkive.org. You can attached photos, video or audio files related to your submission to the email message, or you can include links to where these elements can be accessed. You can write as much, or as little, as you like.
