Submitting Family Stories to The Heritage of Putnam County, Florida
-
Current residents, former residents, and those with ancestors in the county may
submit stories.
-
Each household may submit 500 words and one photograph to be printed free of
charge. Pioneer families are usually those in a county before 1890. One 1,000-word
story per pioneer family line will be used along with two photographs. Other stories
from that particular pioneer family are limited to 500 words per household. You may
purchase words above the free amounts at $0.15 per word. Extra photographs are
$15.00 each.
-
Authors maintain the copyright to individual stories. We copyright the book of
compiled stories. Authors are responsible for the content and accuracy of submissions.
Neither the committee nor publisher is responsible for content and accuracy. Authors
must place their name and addresses at the end of each story. Sources are limited
to four. Sources can be written as: Marriage records, Census records, Bible, Family
letters, etc. Do not list individual records. Those interested in information about the
family can contact you through the address listed. Do not use footnotes.
-
No one edits the family stories, however, submissions that harm or embarrass will
not be used. Stories are typeset as submitted, unless the committee corrects obvious
typographical errors. Stories must be in narrative format with no genealogical charts,
lists, or tabular material. Stories must be typed, or computer generated, and double-
spaced on at least 20 Ib. paper. Handwritten or stories in all CAPITAL letters will be
returned.
-
Computer-generated photographs must be printed at a minimum of 720x720 dpi.
They are not to be imbedded within the story but placed on a separate sheet. Scanned
photographs should be on photo-quality paper. Those on regular paper reproduce poorly.
-
Photograph captions are limited to 10 words and must be typed at the end of
the story. We attempt to return all photographs with SASE but cannot be responsible
for lost photographs. Identify your photographs by placing a mailing label to the back of
each one.
-
We accept color and B&W photographs up to 8"x10". Do not size photographs to fit
the book. We will size them.
In addition to family stories, we accept stories in the following genres for the topical
section of the book. Each story is allowed one photograph. The word limits are listed in
parentheses. You may pay for additional words and photographs as noted above, if you
wish to have more material. Topical stories may be edited or not used as determined by
the committee due to space limitations and/or duplicate/similar materials being
submitted.
County History (2,500); Cities and Towns (750); Churches, Schools, Cemeteries,
Businesses, Memories, and Clubs (250).
