However, Geni, you have touched on another
matter. If the material
cited is unpublished, then we can't use it in Wikipedia. The policy is
that if you need to depend on unpublished primary material for an
article, have your research published first in an appropriate forum
(in your case, a local history journal or monograph), *then* quote
from there. As burdensome as this may seem, having your research
published elsewhere first helps Wikipedia to offer the assurance
that at least one set of expert eyes has examined the material we
are using.
What about pictures?
What about them? Are they from these archives? If so, are they
permitted under GDFL or PD?
