Why do we have Submission
Guidelines?
|
To help make the Transylvania County GenWeb Project the best GenWeb
site!
This means all of us working together to consistently reach higher research
standards.
|
Protect the rights of contributors
Researchers put a lot of time into their work and deserve recognition for
these efforts and to continue to distribute their research the way they believe is
best.
|
Provide background information about authors
and sources
A picture is worth a thousand words. But we can get a thousand more about the
photograph subjects with a few questions. The people and stories behind submissions are important,
too.
|
Reduce fraud and copyright violations
Unfortunately, the USGenWeb Project has had problems in the past with
fraudulent submissions and copyright violations. This has been an issue for archives and libraries
since long before computers. Ultimately, there is no way to completely protect the project from
these problems. In the past, fraud has included using false identities or submitting copyrighted
material under the name of the original author. For this reason a copy of a driver’s license or
state ID card is required with all submissions.

Final Note
The USGenWeb Project, The NCGenWeb Project and their volunteers are not
responsible for the content of donated files including reliability or authenticity. Transylvania
County, North Carolina GenWeb Project coordinators reserve the right to refuse any submitted
file.
