Contributing your documents and memories:
If you would like to offer other images, documents, resources, or memoriesfor this website that you feel might enhance this exploration of the historyof this neighborhood's fabric 11th to Broad, market to South streets), pleaseemail [email protected],and attachtranscripts, accounts, or scanned images, if you like (you must own thecopyright because you took the photo or secured the rights from someonewho did; or copyright expired because the image was published before 1924,and it is now in the public domain). We will experiment with ways to integratethese submissions in some way, and try to build this site collaboratively.
If you are at the computer station in the exhibition itself, you arenot connected to the web, but if you'd like to try saving a note (try "WordPad")to a directory on the desktop called "contribs," go ahead, beingsure to identify yourself and give some means of contacting you; we'll checkthat file periodically.
