The American Local History Network (ALHN) is a nonprofit public benefit corporation whose purpose is to serve as the hub of a network of freely accessible, independent historical and genealogical web sites maintained by volunteer webmasters.

      If you have an historical or genealogical website (or wish to create one) which pertains to the Vermont Counties and/or Townships, please contact the Vermont ALHN State Coordinator, Karima.

      You must obtain your own web space. You are free to get web space from whomever you choose.

      Your site must contain some original content.  It cannot be a page primarily of links to other sites.

      Multiple sites from the same community/county/city are permitted. Everyone has different talents and amounts of time to devote to historical/genealogical projects, and we want to be inclusive of everyone who wants to join. 

      You must respect copyright law.  For clarification on Copyright Laws please visit "What Is Copyright Protection?" 

      Vermont ALHN County and Township web sites must include appropriate reciprocal links and logos, as follows:

• Each ALHN Vermont County Webmaster must provide both a reciprocal link and logo to the Vermont ALHN website. 

• Each Vermont Township Webmaster must provide a link to the County Web Page. You may also provide a link to the national web pages if you wish, but it is not required.

• Though not required, you may obtain a national logo provided on the ALHN Graphics page. For those who like to create graphics, you are also welcome to create your own, if you would prefer. 

• An ALHN logo is defined as any logo that includes either "ALHN" or "American Local History Network;" or the logo of the appropriate affiliated ALHN website(s).  If you don't care for the National Logos but can't design your own the States Web Master will do their best to help you in your endeavor.

• Free Graphics for your ALHN website. Ranging from the very simple to the complex, including different sizes. 

      All web pages must be child-safe sites. In other words, no pornography or obscene subject matter, photos or otherwise. 

      Other than these above listed requirements, ALHN websites are independent sites and therefore are yours to create and maintain. 

      However, if you move your web site or discontinue it, I would appreciate being notified. 

      To submit your request to host a Vermont county, email Karima, the Vermont ALHN State Coordinator.  Be sure to indicate which county you would like to host.

      If you wish to host a township, please contact the appropriate County webmaster (if the county has not been adopted, and you wish to host a township within that county, please contact Karima.)
 
 

      If you would like to volunteer to do any of the following, we'd love to have you on our team. By submitting the data you have collected in your research, or placing it online for linking, you can be a huge help to others who may be researching the same families or the same areas. You can submit information to the State host or your County host.

      If you are interested in participating in any of the above, please contact Karima

      To insure that we mean no one any harm, or have any intention of infringing on your copyright to your work, participants will be expected to find space for their web projects. There is lots of free space on the web, so if you have a concept, but don't have the space, contact me, and I will point you in the right direction. 

      You may belong and participate in other projects with the same page or web project.
