Submission Instructions

Thank you for your interest in making The Milwaukee Road Trail's website more interesting and attractive, by contributing material for public display. Please read this information carefully, and contact us with any questions before submitting your contribution.

Copyright Protection

The Milwaukee Road Trail recognizes the owner’s copyrights and does not assume those rights when displaying the material publicly. The owner always retains their legal privileges, in full.

Ownership

Edits and Alterations

At times it will be necessary to alter the material for display. Text may need minor edits (punctuation, spelling, or formatting). Every effort will be made to retain the material in its state at the time of submission, while keeping in alignment with the TMRT style guides and policies in place.

Images

In order to allow viewers with varying system capabilities access the site without problems, we limit the image size to pixels of 400x300, (roughly 4”x3”). Larger images will be electronically reformatted, though the original submission is retained on file, should it become possible to use it in its original state, later. Images will be labeled with the contributor’s name, if the size allows. If it does not, the image properties are labeled with the contributor’s name.
