FAQs about the event

What is the purpose of the event?

How do I find information about parking and the location of the McCarthy Center Forum

  • Go to the interactive campus map to find the McCarthy Center. Parking is in the Adam's and O'Connor lots. 

Does the event cost anything? Who could go?

  • It is free and open to the public. We welcome people of all ages. 

What kinds of items can I bring to have scanned or photographed?

  • Bring up to three items to be photographed or scanned, like old photographs, letters, postcards, metals, clothes, or other artifacts. Artifacts may relate to your own experience or that of a family member. No weapons allowed. 

Why bring items to the event?

  • Once we scan or photograph your artifact, Framingham State University will create an online collection in the institution's digital repository. The online collection will be a wonderful way to view pictures of the event and also showcase the community's veterans artifacts.
