I expect we’ve all been approached – certainly I have. We won’t
be loading anything because – hard to believe I know, but the Queen has never
visited Sutton!
You could consider watermarking the photos before loading them –
discreetly. Also use a very low res photo – 72dpi is the norm for web pages I
believe.
Best wishes,
Kath

Hello
everyone
We
have been approached by Historypin, a not for profit public history project
that facilitates the uploading of photographs, stories, audio and video
recording. In particular they are interested in content to mark the Queen's
Diamond Jubilee and are launching a project called "Pinning the Queen's
History". Having looked at the website it appears that content can be
uploaded to an interactive map with historical images layered over street views.
Most of the content appears to be from private individuals and most of the
institutional content seems to be north American.
With
regard to Diamond Jubilee, it appears that this will be a dedicated part of the
Historypin site and the idea is to have content on any royal material in our
collections such as royal visits, jubilee celebrations etc. For us one
issue with uploading content is going to be copyright. Historypin does not
claim any ownership of copyright and you can indicate the copyright status and
holder of the image etc.
I
was wondering if anyone else has been approached by Historypin about
"Pinning the Queen's History"? and, if so, is anyone planning to
contribute content?
Please
reply off line
Best
wishes
Peter
