Thank you for supporting the Philadelphia Community Gardens Memory project, a digital archive to preserve our diverse garden heritage. Community gardens often go undocumented and are subsequently underrepresented in the historical record. Your participation in this project will contribute to the preservation of community garden history and allow historians and the general public to gain insight into the role of gardens in everyday American life..

You agree that any submission you make to Philadelphia Community Gardens Memory Project is subject to the following terms and conditions:

At the time of your submission you must be 18 years of age or older.

Only submit what you have permission to submit.  Your submission must be created by you, wholly original, except that:  you may include things that are in the public domain; if submitting an oral history, before submitting the interview, you have shared this agreement with the interviewee and obtained his or her agreement to them and you may include images, audio, or videos if you have received permission from the person or entity that owns the intellectual property in those images, audio files, or videos.

You retain ownership in your submission, but by making a submission you give your irrevocable perpetual permission to disseminate, modify, and use your submission, in whole or in part, in all media now known or later developed, for any educational, promotional, archival, or other standard museum purposes, without compensation to you.  This permission includes but is not limited to publication on the Philadelphia Community Gardens Memory Collection website, other websites, social media, print and online publications or newsletters, fundraising, educational programming, and exhibitions.

You further give the public permission to use the content you submit for personal, educational, or non-commercial uses in any media now known or later developed, without compensation to you.

Do not submit anything that is commercial, advertising, marketing, off-topic, partisan-political, contains personal attacks or expletives, or is otherwise abusive, threatening, unlawful, harassing, discriminatory, libelous, obscene, false, pornographic, or that infringes the rights of any third party.

By making a submission you waive any privacy expectations you may have with regard to your submission. The public may use and share your submission in various ways, including via social media such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, all of which operate independently of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (i.e., have their own policies and terms), and commentary with which you disagree may become associated with your submission..

All submissions are voluntary on your part.

If you have questions about any aspect of these terms and conditions, you may contact the Community of Gardens team at mcleanlibrary@pennhort.org.
