How to contribute photos, images, etc.
The digital evolution has made what we do so much easier. We hope these simple steps will help you help us.
Old photos and documents - If your photos are in a photo album, simply scan the pages one at a time, don't worry about the white between the photos. If you can, identify the photos in a basic form: date, people, activity. If the info is already hand written on the photo album, all the better. Please identify what corps or camp they are. Follow the scanning protocol below, then simply email us at Email Photos. If you have too many photos to email, we'll leave that to your judgment, burn the scans to a CD or DVD and mail to us

Scanning Protocol:
Scan at 300 dpi
Keep it simple - rename your files according to corps: Your corps is #1234 picture is from 2011 on FTX Fun, picture #1 = CC1234_2011_FTX_Fun_1
If it's a camp - Vernon_1966_bloggins_and_me_1
Please keep emails under 10meg in size, email servers have problems with anything larger than 10 megs
DO NOT send Powerpoint presentations PDFs or other imbedded photos. Extraction is too time consuming and the quality can suffer.
Digital photos are even easier, simply download to your computer and email them to us, again basic identification goes along way to telling the story.
Guide lines for Digital Photography:
use the best resolution possible
avoid digital zoom, ie 200x zoom or other unrealistic zooms, pixilated images are very poor
the larger the size the better, within reason, eg. 3000x2000 jpgs are the best
Please keep emails under 10meg in size, email servers have problems with anything larger than 10 megs
DO NOT send Powerpoint presentations PDFs or other imbedded photos. Extraction is too time consuming and the quality can suffer.
Film and video is a little more intensive. We can transfer 8mm and 16mm film, as this is part of Francois' background and profession. He has a full professional telecine transfer suite. Film can be digitized for the web site. Please contact him for more details. Email
