DARPA is particularly interested in participation from Agency alumni, transition partners, industry, academia, museums, and private citizens. At this time, DARPA is requesting that respondents submit only photographs, descriptions, and the provenance of potential artifacts to consider for inclusion in the exhibit, which could include online formats. Upon review, DARPA may invite respondents to temporarily loan the Agency artifacts for display. DARPA expects that submissions will include prototype devices, period photographs, film footage, documents, and physical models.
Details on how to submit items for possible inclusion in the DARPA 60th anniversary exhibit can be found in the attached FAQ.
