Please! We want to hear from you. You need not be a student at George Mason to have been touched by their exciting season. Tell us why you are a fan or how you caught Mason Fever.
If you are only submitting a few items, we ask that you upload them one by one through our online interface. If, however, you would like to submit more than 20 objects, you may contact us at hoops@chnm.gmu.edu to make special arrangements for your contribution.
Images and other files larger than 10MB may not be uploaded through the web site interface. However, if you would like to contribute files larger than 10MB, you may e-mail us at hoops@chnm.gmu.edu to make special arrangements.
At this time, we are collecting primarily stories, image files, audio files, and movie files. We will consider significantly large and important collections on a case by case basis. Please contact us at hoops@chnm.gmu.edu if you would like to contribute a different kind of file.

Every submission to the Mason Basketball Digital Memory Bank—even those that are erroneous, misleading, or dubious—contributes in some way to the historical record. A misleading individual account, for example, could reveal certain personal and emotional aspects of the event that would otherwise be lost in a strict authentication and appraisal process. That said, most people who take the time to submit something to the Digital Memory Bank share the goal of its organizers—that is, to create a reliable and permanent record of responses to the Mason 2005-2006 basketball season—and therefore most contributions are authentic. Nevertheless, as with any historical sources (including, for example, newspaper accounts), there are always questions about reliability, and all researchers need to evaluate their sources critically. It is for this reason that the Memory Bank harvests metadata from every contributor—including name, email address, zip code, date received—and suggests that these metadata be examined in relation to one another, in relation to the content of the submission, and in relation to other authenticated records. Sound research technique is the basis of sound scholarship. Researchers with particular concerns should contact hoops@chnm.gmu.edu for more information.
First and foremost, by submitting your stories, images, and other files through the website and telling your friends about the Memory Bank. If you think you might be able to help in other ways, please feel free to contact us at hoops@chnm.gmu.edu.
