Images for the Barn Survey Project Archives
We would like your images to become part of our town's historical barn archives. For archiving, promotion and fundraising purposes, participants are asked to submit a CD-ROM with a copy of the original digital file from their camera or a JPG or TIFF that is 300 ppi and 10 inches in the longest dimension — whichever is easiest.
Please label the CD with your name, address, phone number and the titles of the files. We would like to keep both the digital file and the print if possible for the archives. If a digital file is not available, just the print will be sufficient. Thank you!

- Photographers grant the use of their image(s) as stated without further contact or compensation from the Mansfield Historical Society or the Mansfield Agriculture Committee.
