The Photo Policy

Since we've had some photo & image questions, we're going to interrupt today's posting of evil paper clip damage (also viewable on our facebook page) to clear up the photo policy for our viewers. It's pretty simple:

1. Technically, this blog has nothing to do, officially, with SCDAH. It is run solely in volunteer capacity. Ergo, SCDAH (the agency) does not own the blog content, but it tolerates it, and can - and does - object at any time when it feels misrepresentation has occurred. Any objected-to content is removed, because we're a friendly blog, and a friendly facebook.

2. Photos and images posted are posted by permission of their respective owners. SCDAH does not own the images unless they are actually borrowed from their image repositories. The images are deliberately not meant to be professional, high-quality reproductions, because that's not what we exist for. If you would like a high-quality reproduction of any document image you see, you'll need to go to the archives and request a copy for personal use. If you want a copy of any photo you see, you'll need to contact that photo's owner. This applies to facebook as well.

3. If you see yourself in a photo on either the blog or our facebook page, and object, or find your photos used without permission (for example, someone forwarded it along without your knowledge and it ended up here or on facebook), simply let us know (email the moderator) and it will be removed.

'Nuff said. Now y'all behave yourselves out there.
