Submitting a biography to the Racine County Biographies Project  is actually very simple - 1, 2, 3... 

First, everyone should review the Submission Guidelines

Second, prepare the biography. The preferred method is to create send an email or a text file, i.e. RTF, WPD, MS Word (review the Text Editing section for help with text files).  HTML documents, make a good second choice. Ultimately, it will be up to the individual County Coordinator to decide how they want their biographies prepared. 

Third, submit your biography by sending it as e-mail to the County Coordinator.  The e-mail address of each County Coordinator is listed on the county's Biographies Home Page or on the Links page.

Please be aware that by submitting a biography to the Racine County Biographies Project you have given permission for representatives of the Racine Biographies project to examine this file for the purpose of extracting the names of individuals for indexing purposes.  Biographies may also be edited to append the name and e-mail address of the submitter.


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

This is first and foremost; DO NOT post materials protected by copyright other than your own!  Any posted biographies found to be protected by a copyright of someone other than the submitter must be removed from all Indiana and/or county Biographies pages.  Books and biography collections printed prior to 1922 are generally not protected by copyright and are considered to be in the public domain.   Photo-static re-prints or duplications of pre-1922 works are not protected by current copyright.  The short story here is: Make sure your source books are pre-1922 originals, or re-prints or copies of pre-1922 originals.  Make sure all original works are accompanied by your copyright notice, which is at the least the word "copyright", your name, and the date.


TEXT EDITING

When creating your biographies, remember to put a heading at the top of each one that identifies you source book, author, and publication date. You will also need to include your own by-line at the bottom of each biography in the following format:  Submitted by: Your Name.  You are welcome to check out samples on this website.
