Historical Meteorological Photos - How to Contribute Your Photos


Send in Your Photos
We want to include your photos in the collection.  If you have a group photo which you think might fit into any of the categories, please scan it at high resolution and send it by email to: jonesb@ncf.ca

Dating and IDs in Photos
Please try to identify the year of the photo, anyone you know who is in it, and the occasion.  Once posted, our viewers should be able to fill in missing information.

Resolution
High resolution normally means up to 2 MB for black and white photos, depending on print size; 3+ MB for colour photos.  These resolutions are normally the size of a medium resolution digital photo.  The high resolution is helpful if the photo has to be cropped and will always produce a clearer copy for the web.

Snail Mail
If scanning is not an option, borrowing and returning by snail mail is possible.  Please send them to:

Bob Jones
24 Higgins Road
Nepean, ON
K2G 0R5

and they will be scanned and returned promptly.

FTP
If you have a large number of photos, file transfer (FTP) can be used instead of sending emails with attachments.  FTP is much faster than email.  Again, please get in touch to set that up.

Photo Quality Upgrades
Finally, if you have an original clear print of a blurry photo which we already have posted, we would love to improve the quality for posting and would appreciate a copy.  Blurry photos are often copies of copies or reprints from newpapers or magazines such as Zephyr.
