Contributing to the Welsh Chapels and Churches Photo Library.

This website came about after I had uploaded some chapels and church photos to one of my websites, for the Glamorgan Mailing List  and I was persuaded by a friend Dai Bevan, to invite Rootsweb List members to contribute. The photographs are intended to be of help to many people who do not live in Wales but have Welsh blood and who are researching their ancestry. As family historians know, having a photograph of their family's respective chapel or and church is of great interest, and the aim is to provide a platform for these photographs.  It also exists to show the many chapels and churches which now do not exisit as religious houses.

If you own any chapel or church photographs, I would be very grateful for the contribution of scanned images of these photos. Please email images scanned in full colour mode saved at about 800 x 600 as jpg files to Jill Muir.

Please also name the photo, in the way shown below, which is in lower case and hyphenated. Please do not use an underscore. This saves a tremendous amount of time when preparing the photo for internet display.

e.g. ~ aberdare-ebenezer-chapel-cm.jpg or aberdare-soar-chapel-baptist.jpg  [ cm = Calvinistic methodist]

In this way, the photo has its location, its name and if known the denomination.

In your message could you please tell me which Welsh county this is in. I live outside Wales and it is often difficult to actually place the photographs if I am not told. Please do not take photographs from the internet or from books, unless you have donated this photograph in the first place. You must own these photographs or the owner is willing to have these donated.

After responding privately to the contributor, I will include any images supplied on the site update as soon as I can. All contributions will be fully acknowledged on the relevant page.
