Using this website
The Otisfield Historical Society provides this website for education, research, and enjoyment of local history. These terms explain the conditions for using the website. Please use it respectfully and do not interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorized access, or submit unlawful or abusive material.
Historical information
Our collections include original records, donated material, transcriptions, and descriptions prepared over time. Historical sources may contain errors, outdated language, or incomplete information. Some photograph identifications and catalog tags are informed estimates. A suggested identification is not a verified fact.
Please consult original sources when accuracy matters. We welcome corrections and additional context through our contact page.
Copyright and reuse
Copyright and other rights vary by item. Making a photograph, document, or recording available here does not mean that it is in the public domain or that the Society owns every right to it. Rights may belong to creators, donors, or other parties.
You are responsible for checking the rights and permissions needed for your intended use. Nothing in these terms limits uses permitted by law, including fair use. For publication, reproduction requests, or questions about a particular item, contact us with its title or catalog number. Please credit the source and the Otisfield Historical Society when appropriate.
Material you send us
Please send only material you are entitled to share, and avoid including sensitive personal information in the contact form. Sending a message, correction, or photograph does not by itself transfer ownership or complete a donation. We will discuss any donation arrangements or publication permissions with you separately.
Other websites and services
Links to research resources, social networks, and other websites are provided for convenience. Those services have their own terms and privacy practices. We do not control their content or availability.
Availability and changes
We work to keep the website useful and accurate, but cannot promise uninterrupted access, complete records, or error-free content. The site and these terms may change as our collections and services develop. The date above indicates the latest revision.
Questions
Read our privacy policy for information about personal data. For questions about these terms, email otisfieldhistorical@gmail.com or write to the Otisfield Historical Society, PO Box 631, Otisfield, ME 04270.
