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 Minnesota and/or county Biography 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.
