Copyright.
These illustrations have been collected from a a variety of sources and the Society does NOT have the copyright to them. In many cases it is not possible to say who does. Therefore they are provided for private use only and should not be used in any profit-making publication. If there are problems arising because of mis-use the Society will be forced to close the collection.
Help required.
Do you have photographs or pictures of Somerset or Dorset Places of Worship?
The Society's collection is far from complete, but we would like to try and make it so. If you could briefly loan us any photos of places of worship you might have which are - or were - in Somerset or Dorset they can be copied and added to the collection. They can be ancient or modern, photos or postcards, church or chapel, active or redundant. If they are now private houses, fine.
Remember this service as you travel around the two counties, and snap away! We are very happy to have duplicates, different angles, different eras, so please don't think "Oh, lots of people will send that one, I'll leave it to them."
Enclose an SAE with card reinforcement and your prized photos will be winging back to you in no time.
If you can convert the pictures to digital images, either with a digital camera or a scanner, then convert them to .jpg or .gif format and send them via e-mail.
