CAN YOU HELP WITH THIS DATABASE ?


The webmaster would be delighted to receive any updates of relevant information and photographs (of which you own copyright) which could help to keep this database as up-to-date as possible and fill in gaps in the historical record.

I know that many of you will have photographs of paddle steamers on the internet on photo-sharing websites such as Picasa and Flickr. No photos are used on this website unless they were taken by the webmaster or someone who has given express permission for their own photos to be used. However, some photos from Flickr etc may be used so long a the copyright tag (Creative Commons etc) allocated to the photo at the time of downloading allows.

Tramscape is trying to develop this website as the main source on the internet for paddle steamer information and photos, so the webmaster would be very grateful if you would allow use of your photos in this database so they can be seen by the wider paddle steamer interest group who will be reading this website.

Please
e-mail the Webmaster your information and photos or general authorisation to use photos from another website source. Thank you very much

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT PAYMENT POLICY:
Unfortunately Tramscape cannot accept payment by credit card or other cash payment methods such as PayPal. The reason for this is that Tramscape is not a commercial organisation, but a hobby and a means by which my extensive photo collection (and photos of other contributors) can be made available and, at the same time, raise some money for paddle steamer preservation. I make no profit from any sales and my costs are not recovered from revenue - my only aim is to help preserve paddle steamers.

Usage Restrictions
Private Buyers : For personal use only, not to be reproduced without permission of Tramscape. Subject to agreement, photos may be used on non-profit making websites, or sites generating funds for approved Paddle Steamer or Tramway organisations.
Commercial Buyers : By arrangement with Tramscape
