Hi Dave,
I frequently publish photos to our web.
Providing you are carefully in labelling the photo there is no reason not
to. but out there are thousands that could assist you in identifying what
you are showing and remember a picture is worth a thousand words just keep
the size small as everyone does not have broadband.

I'd be interested to hear what the opinions are held about the
publishing of photographs of mining artifacts on the web. In the
particular case I'm condsidering there is a wooden artifact (possibly
a hand barrow - i.e. like a wh
>el barrow but without a wheel and with
handles at each end) on the floor of a passage. It's probably not
that old but it looks fairly fragile.
On one hand I'm reluctant to publish such photos in case they act as
encouragement to people to visit t
>e mine concerned with the result
of possible damage to the artifacts.
On the other hand I want my web site to be as full a record of the
mines as possible and as such it would be good to have a published
record of the objects in case the original
> do get damaged or go
missing. Publishing the photos may also give someone the chance to
identify the items better.
What are list members thoughts on this?
Dave
