The Defense Visual Information Center (DVIC) was established in 1994 as the result of the consolidation of the Air Force Aerospace Audiovisual Service (AAVS) and the Navy's Still Records Media Center, Anacostia (SMRC).
Located on March Air Reserve Base in Moreno Valley, California, the DVIC is a government-owned and contractor-operated facility, occupying a modern state-of-the-art building featuring an electronic imaging center, a climate controlled automated storage and retrieval system, and a video duplication center.
DVIC is the official records center for the storage and preservation of visual information (VI) records of the U.S. military. Our holdings include motion picture film, videotape, still photography, and CD-ROM stock photo collections for use by Department of Defense (DoD) customers in support of mission requirements. Most of our imagery is made available to the public on a cost-recovery fee basis.
DVIC is a division of the American Forces Information Service (AFIS), which is a field activity of the Secretary of Defense. The DVIC reports to the Director, Defense Visual Information (AFIS/DVI).

All Hands Magazine
Magazine of the U.S. Navy
The first "issue" of All Hands was printed as the Bureau of Navigation News Bulletin No. 1 (dated Aug. 30, 1922). Twenty years later, the title was changed to Bureau of Naval Personnel Information Bulletin. As America claimed "Victory in Europe" on the cover of June 1945, the magazine's new banner read, All Hands, and the name stuck.
We believe it's important to make the Navy's history, as documented in All Hands, accessible to everyone. In January 2003, we completed a two-year project to archive every back issue (more than 80 years worth) in Adobe Acrobat® format.
