Submission Rules

  • Include some context (event, location, war, year, etc) in the title.
    • The title of your submission should be fair and accurate.
  • Include the date of the photograph in the title.
    • If you cannot find the date after a concerted effort, then a rough estimate or simply saying unknown date will suffice.
  • Include the resolution in [brackets] in the title.
  • Only submit static photographs.
    • Videos, collections, interactive images/websites, and articles are not allowed.
    • Do not submit a shortened link using a URL shortener like tinyurl.
  • Pictures of family members are not allowed in r/HistoryPorn unless they were taken in the context of a verifiable, historically significant event. Please consider submitting those images to /r/thewaywewere or /r/HumanPorn.
  • Images submitted here should have been taken at least 20 years ago.
  • Make sure your image is hosted by an approved host.
    • Original source is allowed and preferred over the approved hosts. Please designate your original source with the tag [OS] in order to prevent mixups.
    • If you took the photo yourself, you can signify this by using the tag [OC] (original content) and after 24 hours you will be given special flair. If you don't receive flair after a few days feel free to message the mods.
  • If you have any questions check out the FAQ.

If you have any questions or feedback feel free to let us know!

Holy shit. Now that is the facial expression of a man who knows he is about to die. The Atlantic's WWII series has really been exceptional.
