We do save some for archival purposes and they cannot be removed. Much of the earlier years are no longer available. Depending upon the origination of the photo, its copyright and photographer's fees, she will either negotiate an agreement for use or deny the request. No one is given permission to use or take any photograph or slide from the USGA archives without her knowledge. I've got an idea for a story or a manuscript.
All correspondence is read and appreciated, including unsolicited story ideas and submissions.
We assume no responsibility for the loss or damage of unsolicited material. They will not be returned unless accompanied by a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
