Please consider asking your historian or recording secretary to send us a press re lease that covers the WHO WHAT WHEN WHERE WHY and HOW of the event. Add a contact name with phone number and email address, and we’ll call if we need more information. Send us a photo in jpeg format, no larger than 600 by 600 pixels. What about display ads? We typically run these ads free of charge, but we will no ion-' ger scan or reformat hard copies of flyers. We will accept .Word documents of tiiese dimensions: 2 inches wide by up to 5 inches long, 4 inches wide up to 6 inches long, and 6 inches wide up to 6 inches long.
