Library Updates #8: December 2010-June 2011
In order to save bandwidth for our forum, I regularly consolidate the notices regarding additions to our Gilliland Trails Photo and Document Library. This means that I keep new notices up for a period of 6 months (more or less) and then the posts are removed and their information added to an index of our library holdings. A few posts from this period may remain on the forum if they contain additional information that was not archived to the library. Each library index presents material in the order they were added to the library collections.

Everyone is welcome to contribute material to library files such as these, which can be expanded or revised. If you have contributions you wish to make to existing files, or new files created from your own research, just drop me a line at hpuppet@frontier.com

Here are some guidelines for those wishing to contribute to the Gilliland Trails Library:

1. Please do not submit material already transcribed by others unless you have their stated permission to post that transcription to Gilliland Trails.
2. Do your best to work with original source material, i.e., from the book or journal, or from a digitized copy of the original material, such as you would find in the Google digitized library.
3. Always include publication information -- title, date, author, et al.
4. The historical or biographical sketch should be from a published work and copyright restrictions, when applicable, should be respected.
5. Please send me your file or files in word doc or rtf format.
6. Photos should be those held in your own collection unless you have permission from the source to post the images.

Remember, when you post something to our Photo & Document Library you retain the rights to your materials and they should not be used anywhere else without your expressed permission.
Many thanks to our contributors/researchers this calendar period, including:
Paul Gilliland
LuAnn Elsinger
Linda Kent
Anne Gilliland Bristow
Patrick Gilliland
