The Volunteer Look-Up Page and Rules for Look-Ups

Send an email to Patricia wvgal@tds.net if you have material you'd be willing to share, or know of books available on Upshur County, West Virginia and they are not copyrighted or you have the permission in writing from the author to use in this manner.

Rules for Lookup Volunteers

Volunteers may do unlimited lookups if and only if:
1. The lookup volunteer is the actual author and copyright holder of the publication.
2. The lookup volunteer is using primary source documents ... whether they are treking to the courthouse or using their own xeroxed copies of public domain documents.
3. The lookup volunteer has written permission from the author / copyright holder to use their publication for lookups
Volunteers may be able to make certain limited scope lookups in copyrighted publications under the "fair use" provisions of existing law. LIMIT OF 2 LOOK-UPS PER BOOK
Potential volunteers are encouraged to review the explanations of copyright protection, especially the "fair use" provisions, available elsewhere on the Web.

Rules for Lookup Requests

Mention the name of the book in your message.
- Our volunteers aren't mind-readers &
- they may not remember which books they volunteered for.
Make your requests for lookup limited in scope.
- "Tell me everything about the Smiths" is probably too broad. <grin>

Researchers should not ask, nor may lookup volunteers offer, to violate copyright laws in responding to requests for lookups in any copyrighted material.
