This free storage gives you a backup of those photos and pictures, to refer to if some disaster were to destroy the photographs  you have.  Also we preserve the items for historical research and education.  Not only future researchers, but your own descendents a hundred years from now, may want to see the photo or picture. 

Under our privacy policy (see here) we do not publish, share, or publically distribute information about any living person (unless it is otherwise publically available on the Internet) that is deposited with us without that living person's consent.

To maintain the quality, manage the volume, and provide a simple and concise method, we do the following.

• We keep the Society Depository in an electronic format. This provides maximum preservation for the future, and for maximum availability for serious researchers. 

• We do not keep paper or other items other than electronically. If you send something to us in a non-electronic form we assume it is a copy that we may destroy after we make the electronic image we maintain for permanent storage.

Send us your pre-1900 Bucklin photos and pictures.

Question: How do I do it?

Answer:  The easiest way to send us photos and pictures is --- as an electronic format attachment to an e-mail to us.

Here is our email address: 

If you do not have the photo or picture in electronic format, or if you cannot scan a photo yourself, stop at a copy store, like a Kinko's or UPS Mail Box store.   They can scan it into electronic format for you to send to us.

Here is the legal stuff: #1. Unless stated otherwise at the time of submission, it is assumed that the person submitting the photos or document has the copyright and is releasing the copyright to us for use the submitted item as we see fit, or that the material is not copyrighted.

#2. We reserve the right to choose the documents and photos we accept and to choose the ones to publish on our web site, if we publish any, and to determine in all ways whether a document or photo will be added to the Document Depository.   We reserve the right to discontinue the  Depository, at any time, without notice, although it is presently intended that this Depository will exist as long as the Joseph Bucklin Society exists.
