Subject: [Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Parish histories and photos and documents


> We are slowly starting to build a compilation of parish histories on the
> SGGEE website.  See
http://www.sggee.org/parish_histories/church_history.html
>
> Some, such as Volhynia, are basically completed while others, such as
> Russian Poland
> http://www.sggee.org/parish_histories/LuthParishesRusPol.html are in
progress.
>
> We will also eventually add Baptist and Moravian histories as well.
>
> We would also like to include some photos of these places.  These could
be:
>
> - pictures of actual churches or chapels
> - pictures of the town or village
> - pictures of people, at work or posed or ???
> - modern or historical are OK
>
> Anything that can be clearly identified with the specific parish as it
> appears in our lists would be great.
>
> We require good quality photos or duplicates.  Photocopies are generally
> not adequate.  We can use high quality scans from books or magazines so
> long as the picture itself is not copyright (example: it should be from an
> archival source where we can give credit to that archive).
>
> We would also be pleased to have scanned copies of old documents from
these
> parishes.  Your copy should include the entire document (not just a part
of
> it) and a brief description of what it is.
>
> You do not have to wait until a parish history appears on our site to
> provide the material.  You can send it to me and I will either hold it on
> file until the history is created or I will create the pictures /
documents
> pages in advance of the history.
>
> Before sending anything, please write to me and let me know what you
> have.  We can then discuss whether or not it is suitable or if there might
> be a copyright problem.  Please limit your offerings to material from
> Russian Poland, Volhynia, Podolia, or Kiev.
>
> We cannot guarantee that all photos or documents supplied will be used as
> space is limited.  However, we will try to incorporate as many as
possible.
>
> Thank you.
