Quoting small portions while giving credit due is allowable. The problems arise as to what constitutes this portion. Certainly, a line quoted out of a book is allowed. A paragraph, possibly. A chapter, no way. The book, absolutely not.

My intent would be to submit them to the above site for posting. I have checked the BGS site and notice that none are listed for sale. I am assuming they are out of print so there would be no monetary lose to BGS. Also I would properly cite my source with full attribution (and thanks) to Mr. Gladden. I have a series of pamphlets (7 in all) that Sanford Charles Gladden did in the 1970s that fit very nicely into certain sections of the Family Stories Page. They are mostly excerpts of newspaper articles with some historical commentary by him and often a number of old photographs. All of them have on the cover his name ; the title page has "by" and his name, date & address ; and the Introduction page has his name, date & address and "(All rights reserved)". They are : "Early Boulder Series" - "No. 1 Miscellany" "No. 2 Fire Protection" "No. 3A Education - Public Schools" "No. 4 Miscellany Number Two" "No. 5 Ladies of the Night" (The early newspapers were very "Victorian" in there wording and Mr. Gladden further censured by removing all names of ordinary Boulder residents ; but he did leave in the names of Madams & "soiled doves". Makes for interesting reading but perhaps all of the names need to be censured.) "Tales of Boulder for Young Folks" - "No. 1 The Beginnings of Boulder" "No. 2 Animal Tales From Boulder Newspapers" I have addressed various Boulder representatives and would appreciate your comments, David Knowles ==== COBOULDE Mailing List ==== Boulder County, Colorado COGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~coboulde/ ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237
