Caveats for submitting photos to the
Revolutionary War Photo Arhives
 
This site is open to ALL Patriotic Organization to post Photo Galleries, or Photo Essays. At no cost.

For an example of a Photo Gallery, please go to:

For an example of a Photo Essay, please go to:

There ARE some caveats:
 
1.  Every photo must have a caption that tells the event name, where it was held, and when, and the names of as many people as you can identify
2.  Each photo must be clear and sharp, and measure 500 pixels in height or 800 pixels in width (except for large GROUP shots which may be posted larger)
3.  Each gallery or photo essay must have at least 10 but no more than 120 photos. If you have 200 photos, make two separate galleries. All photos must be be at 72dpi resolution, and cannot exceed 600KB in size - average size should be around 70 to 300KB
4.  The subject matter is the Revolutionary War, and should include only events to which the general public is invited. This is NOT meant for Board of Manager Meetings or other State Business Meetings
5.  This site will also be open to the SR, DAR, CAR, Order of the Cincinnati, and other Patriotic Organizations.
6.  Photo Galleries must be delivered by FTP in a finished state. Navigation buttons should be provided to move from one photo to another, or run as a slideshow. I will grant users UserIDs and Passwords to stage their works, but I control the Menus that will give general access to the public once I have established that the photo gallery meets the above criteria. I will work closely with any submitter and offer any technical expertise needed to get the gallery ready for public viewing, but it may take a lttle extra work on the part of the submitter.
7.  No advertising will be permitted
8.These photos are in the public domain, and may be downloaded at will by anyone who wishes to use them for non-profitable reasons
 
As this is a new concept, other rules will evolve as we go along. This site is not owned, operated, or controlled by the SAR, but will be governed by the same principles of patriotism and good citizenship with which you are already familiar.

This server is meant for Photo Galleries and Photo Essays only. It is not a place where you can publish your whole website. HOWEVER, you can link to your photos from your own Website, and thus have a more colorful face to present to the public.

If you are interested in posting a Photo Gallery or Photo Essay, please contact Bob Yankle at byankle@triad.rr.com.  I am the Webmaster and Photo Gallery Coordinator for this new website.
