--Copyright

Linking to your corresponding page on the ChinaGenWeb Archives is recommended. This is where we will place copies of transcriptions for your region. You may, or may not, decide to download these onto your own site in conjunction with the Archive Coordinator. All websites should carry a copyright notice, e.g.:
Copyright © 2007 (your name)
|
|
After you have posted your page, please e-mail the Coordinator with the url of your site. New pages are checked to ensure that the links work. Your coordinator will contact you after they have visited your page, and will notify you if there are any problems with the required elements. Then you may submit your site to the forums and search engines.
