Most researchers do not need to log in with a special account in order to use the Army Heritage Collection Online. Just initiate a search, whether a general search for the collection as a whole or a more specific search within a portion of the collection, after using the tabs or hot links to get to "Digital Documents," "Photographs," etc.

Other users, such as official military or other authorized patrons, may wish to employ the log-ins suggested or provided by the AHCO administrator.
