• Search the Greene Connections Photostream on Flickr to find images in the Greene County Photo Archives Project.
• Add Greene Connections as a Flickr contact to get notice of the latest additions.
• Use the Collections, Sets, & Tags tabs on Flickr to search images by categories.
• Use the Map tab on Flickr to search images by location.
• Use the Archives tab on Flickr to search images by date.
• Download high-resolution images via the Actions tab above each image on Flickr. Select "view all sizes" then choose "original size."
• Post comments in the message boards below photos or send a note to Greene Connections.

Sharing Your Photographs

Greene Connections is a free, volunteer project that has been successful because of the participation of so many researchers and families.

In respect to copyright and privacy issues, we ask that you only submit photos that were taken before 1930.

***With any photo submissions please provide your full contact information so that you can be given appropriate credit and be contacted for any further information needed.***

If you are going to scan photos or have someone scan photos for you, please follow these steps:

(1) Photographs in an album or other layout in which they are particularly arranged, should be submitted in original order. Context clues will otherwise be lost.
(2) Scan all photos in a full color setting, not in grayscale or black and white.
(3) Scan all photos at the highest quality setting, ideally at least 600 dpi (if necessary you can use 300 dpi, but please no smaller).
(4) Writing or photographer stamps on the back of the photos should be scanned as well so that your photo can be correctly documented.
(5) Save each photo as a tiff file (or if desired, a jpg file at the highest quality setting, ideally 100%).
(6) Do not alter the size or allow your email to shrink the photo when sending.

***Please understand that photos not meeting these requirements may not be able to be used in the Greene County, Pennsylvania Photo Archives Project.***

***Due to volunteer time, we may not be able to post every photo that is submitted. We apologize for any inconvenience.***
