Photo Submission Criteria

Or here?
On this site we will have three categories of photographs -- People, Places & Things, and Organizations. We are soliciting photos of historic persons, or good personal portraits. For organizations, it could be a school class photo (labeled with names), or a fraternal organization activity (labled), or even a family reunion with names. Here are some guidelines.
  • You may submit anything you wish for consideration, but we might not use them all.
  • No living people may be included.
  • A really great picture of a location that happens to have a deceased person in it is fine.
  • Only Cuyahoga residents/places/things will be considered.
  • These must be hard copy photos in your posession that have been scanned, or scans that have been given to you by a family member/friend who gives permission to share on the internet. We will post their name as the submitter on the site, so please be sure this is acceptable to the donor.
  • Photos may not be by a professional photographer unless they are 1921 or before due to copyright issues, unless you are that photographer and you grant us permission to use.
  • Please send photos one per e-mail with an explanation of where the photo came from (provenance), that you have permission to upload it to the internet, and a description of what you know about the photo, date if known, and location.
  • We will take unlabeled photos of buildings/streets/cityscapes for possible identification.
  • At this time we are not doing identification of people pictures.
  • We are not really a site to post your entire family album.
  • Our preference is .jpg in 4x6 proportions. If you are out taking pictures, we prefer landscape rather than portait.
  • E-mail to the webmaster address below.
Thanks for helping make this community site great!
