    3. Some questions for all and how you interpret the wording in the statement below....please read and then see who you believe is the submitter who is giving the Archives permanent use of the materials mentioned... is a person who has surveyed a cemetery sends the material to the Archivist for that county and then the Archivist/County Archivist submits the material to the Archives...then the Archivist would be the submitter... It sounds like from the wording on the statement below that the person who "submits" it to the archives, who is a member of the archives becomes the submitter and is giving the permission for permanent use. But normal interpretation of "submitter" is the one who did the survey. But through a slight-of-hand the submitter has becomes the person who placed it with the county records located in the archives, not the person who did the survey or transcribing who is the actual compiler. So now please read the statements from the USGenWeb Archives Notice...and see how you read this...who is the submitter and who is it that is giving permission for the material to become the permanent property of the Archives? Any other use, including copying files to other sites, requires permission from the contributors PRIOR to uploading to the other sites. [The submitter has given permission to the USGenWeb Archives to store the file permanently for free access.]
