Now that you have done all that work of researching and
finding your elusive ancestors, give them immortality! As part of our website
update we are planning to create a collage of historic photos of CGS members’
ancestors for the home page. Graphic design artist Lois Elling has volunteered to design the collage and is now eager to
receive your photos. This is just one of the many new features being planned by
the website update team.
We are particularly interested in showing the diversity
of our members, so if you have photos that display the cultural or ethnic
backgrounds of your family, please consider submitting them. Some
pictures are more interesting than others as far as unusual hairstyle, props, costume, etc. Photos of individuals or couples will work better than photos of a large group. Photos may be in color or black and white – all will appear in sepia in the collage.
Please select and send your digital photos to Lois
at: lelling@californiaancestors.org
and cc: Chris Pattillo: cpattillo@californiaancestors.org.
Files should be JPG 72 dpi or higher. We encourage you to provide proof of copyright or to submit
photos taken prior to 1924 which are free from copyright law. Names will not be shown. Photos may be
cropped to fit the overall layout requirements. We cannot guarantee that all photos will
be used. Please submit your photos no later than July 31.
Support the website upgrade: We have already received two generous donations, from
Arlene Miles and from an anonymous donor, to help pay for the website update. If you would
like to support this work please consider making a donation either through the
DONATE tab on our website, or by check to California Genealogical Society & Library, 2201 Broadway, Suite LL2, Oakland, CA 94612-3031. Any amount is greatly appreciated.
