Contributing To This Site

Helping Us – With the data now on the Research site, you can see the power of having searchable NP data resources available from everyone’s Internet browser.  Things like bibliography reference citations, equipment rosters, catalogs of museum collections, photo collection catalogs all come alive with possibilities.  But, we have a very big job ahead of us to reach the full potential of this web site.  The effort has been divided into smaller jobs that can be done by individual members at home. 

 

You can be a part of this effort, no matter where you live or your background.  While it is extremely useful if you can use a computer and have email to communicate, you can also participate in developing important data without using a computer or email.  What is needed is for you to be willing to tackle a research subject.  To start this process, tell us what section you want to work on and send an email to: NPRHA Research.  We will help you get started. 

 

We look forward to hearing from you and helping you become a part of this significant project to provide a resource that will keep the NP alive for future generations.

 

Submitting Items – If you have items that you would like added to the NPRHA.org site, please email them to NPRHA Research. There are tags on the site that look like you should be able to submit items directly to the site, but we have the site set to require that items be posted only by the administrators. This was done to maintain the folder structure which make navigation of the site and the search functions work correctly. If you are sending digitized photos, please limit the size so that the image is no more than 1000 pixels wide and is saved as a JPG. If you don’t know about all this technical stuff, send us an email describing what you have and we will send you an address to mail the item to us. We will scan the item and send it back to you. Thank you for your interest in helping us develop NPRHA.org.
