Contributor Program

Join TransportVault and add to the archive

TransportVault is built by the people who chase trains, planes, buses and ships. Anyone can join, deposit photographs and earn the contributor tier — no invitation needed.

How it works

Create an account

Sign up with email or Google. Your account gives you a personal deposit record and dashboard.

Deposit your first photographs

Upload images with operator, unit number, model and location. A curator reviews each deposit before it publishes.

Apply for the contributor tier

Once you have documented records to show, apply from your dashboard. Approved contributors publish instantly.

What we look for

  • Your own photographs, at a resolution that shows the subject clearly.
  • Accurate operator, unit number, model and location details wherever you know them.
  • Records that add something the archive does not already hold.
