The following are some guidlelines to help you understand the content we are looking for and the relationship we expect to maintain with content publishers. If you have any questions feel free to contact (http://autoracingmemories.com/forums/sendmessage.php) us.
Copyrights. You MUST be the author of the content! You cannot copy material from another website and claim it as your own. If the information you want to submit to ARM was posted on another website then you must re-write it in your own words! Scan a few of your own photographs and submit it! (it's really easy!) Make sure to give credit to authors and photographers even if you have their permission to post their work.
Images. Including images with your threads and posts is of course what makes ARM interesting and special. Yet the images you submit must be images that you have the authority to allow us to publish on this website. You may submit images that belong to others as long as you properly credit them (i.e., image taken from the Tim Smith collection or image taken by Joe Starr etc.)
Publishing rights. If you share any information on the ARM website you must agree that the information you share can be used in any way on the ARM website and can remain on the ARM website indefinitely. That way we can avoid problems that similar sites have run into i.e., if the site should ever change hands, the content can go with it. (it's the only possible way to make such a project work - Imagine how archaeologists might feel if the awesome stuff they discovered vanished when a museum closed it's doors only because the museum didn't have the right to use the museum pieces as they saw fit.)
Labor of Love. Auto Racing Memories will be a labor of love. This website isn't intended to make a living for anyone, in fact I am sure we will lose money maintaining ARM. Yet that isn't the point. The point is finding a way to share our racing history so that it stays alive for our children and our children's children and so on. We will have limited advertising on the website as a means to offset the costs of creating and maintaining such a website.
