    1. [SCHORRY-L] GenWeb explanation
    2. Craig Smith
    3. Thank you for the vote of confidence. I have redone the Horry County GenWeb page at http://www.cityathletics.com/horry with the minimum requirements of the genweb project. 99.9% of the data will be on the Horry County Historical Society's site. I have not heard yet if they accept it. The importance of keeping peace with the SCGenWeb is to maintain a link to the Horry County data through the GenWeb project. It was desired to have a link directly from the SCGenWeb project to the Horry County Historical Society, but they (the SCGenWeb coordinators) felt that the site didn't met the requirements. Therefore, the SCGenWeb link to Horry County must go to a different site, ie http://www.cityathletics.com/horry where it has been for awhile. Once visitors get there, I think they will get the hint that the bulk of Horry County data will be at http://www.hchsonline.org and they will follow the link there. For your information their minimum requirements are: Every page must have a link to the South Carolina State page (SCGenWeb). There should also be a note telling people that if they have an interest in adopting a county they should contact the state coordinator Victoria Proctor and give the email address vproc@ix.netcom.com). Every page must provide a query page. This can be handled either with a form and posted automatically, or with email to the page owner and updated manually, and both ways are being used. Every page should provide some basic research help for the county. For example, many of the county coordinators have provided a list of names, addresses and phone numbers for the county court clerk, library, and genealogical and/or historical societies. Many have also provided a bibliography page showing the reference books available for their county. Reference lookups should be offered if you and your lookup volunteers have received permission from the authors of copyrighted work to do so. You are not responsible for doing lookups or any research for anyone. You might list whatever resources you have in your personal library, offering to do lookups in them. You might also list other books that have been published on your county and ask for others that have these books to volunteer to do lookups. We support fair use but respect copyrights. You should display the SCGenWeb logo on your page as well as The USGenWeb logo. As for our site, Horry County Historical Society, at http://www.hchsonline.org the only change will be at the bottom of each page, the line: 'Official site of the SCGenWeb and USGenWeb projects.' will be eventually be deleted from each page. This site is owned by the Horry County Historical Society P.O. Box 2025 Conway, SC 29528 A non-profit organization for historical and genealogical purposes. Donations are both welcomed and tax deductable. ©1999 All rights reserved. Report errors to webmaster@hchsonline.org Official site of the SCGenWeb and USGenWeb projects.
