The 66 News Photo Submission Requirements

As you are preparing your submissions for The 66 News, please bear these guidelines in mind. By following these guidelines, the precious photos used in the newsletter will look as good as possible.

I certainly understand that many photos submitted for the newsletter are historic – and therefore not in a digital format (i.e. .jpg), but old and low-resolution photos don’t easily translate clearly to a printed format, like our newsletter. In order for them to appear clear and bright in a printed medium the following is suggested:

For Existing photos processed from film:

Option 1 – Mail processed photos directly to Marlene at:

Route 66 Association of Illinois
Attention: Marlene Gorman, Newsletter Editor
c/o Perma Graphic Printers
216 Marley Road
New Lenox, IL 60451

These photos will be returned to you if you request.

Option 2 – If you have access to a scanner, scan original photos as an image (.jpg – NOT .tiff or .pdf) at the highest possible resolution; email the photo file created by scanning to permagraphic@sbcglobal.net. Please put Route 66″ in the subject line. Do not print the photos before emailing; simply send the file itself via email.

For Digital photos (from a digital camera/phone):

Please send the highest resolution original, unprocessed digital image files.

Captions
Please include caption information for each photo submitted, including what the photo depicts, where/when it was taken, names of people in the photo and any other pertinent details. The photos will be attributed to the submitter unless otherwise specified. By submitting photos for use in the newsletter, you agree to also allow us to use them on our website, Facebook and for other promotional purposes.

Should you have any questions about the photos you’re sending for the newsletter, contact Editor Marlene – she’ll be happy to help you to provide provide what’s necessary to ensure the best quality images for printing.

Donations Fuel Our Mission!

Your donation to our Association helps support our efforts to preserve, promote, educate and enjoy Route 66 in Illinois. We are a volunteer organization; 100% of donations are allocated to preservation efforts along the Mother Road in Illinois (never to administrative or housekeeping expenses). We thank you for your generous donation toward maintaining our nostalgic slice of Americana.
