Welcome to the BRHS On-Line
Photo Archive using SmugMug

What is SmugMug?
SmugMug is a popular image sharing, and image hosting service on which users can upload photos and videos and sell them to others.

Image Sources
The images offered on SmugMug are from donated collections the BRHS physically holds. This system allows them to be searchable by keywords, road number, location, subject matter, photographer, or donor. Our goal is to make these collections available to researchers for the benefit of preserving railroad history.

Usage Restrictions
This service allows prints or downloads to be PURCHASED for private personal use only from this on-line archive. "Private personal use" is defined as a private individual's use in a private research setting and may be displayed or presented in private programs if they are NOT posted on the internet, social media, recorded, or otherwise re-transmitted or broadcast.

• Additionally, when used in a private program the source of these images must be displayed as part of the image in an upper or lower corner credit line.
• Any other copying, selling, sharing, displaying, public exhibition, or any distribution via email, uploading to internet sites or social media is prohibited. 
• We do encourage sharing of LINKS to our Photo Archive and its individual images.
• BRHS makes no warranty of copyright ownership. Determination of copyright is the responsibility of the user.
• BRHS does not re-distribute or otherwise transfer our collections to other organizations.

A monogram will be located in the lower right-hand corner of all prints and downloads that is to be retained for publication. Lastly, the Personal Photo License language on SmugMug’s site is superseded in its entirety by the above listed bullet points.

Please Note:  Our web host's printing service forces a crop to full bleed of the paper size you select when ordering PRINTS. Images with a wide aspect ratio (e.g. 116, postcard) will require cropping off the ends of the image. Unfortunately, we cannot change this but suggest as an option to order a larger 8” x 12” print to minimize the crop or order a smaller 4” x 8” print and crop out the top and/or bottom (which is often is a benign sky or foreground).

When you click on "BUY PHOTO" select Paper Prints and paper size menu, your color bars will appear on the top and bottom, or the sides of the image. These indicate part of the image that will be cropped off the paper. After you select the exact size of paper, you can adjust the area to print (see below) by moving the Printing Area Mask. Also, the printing service is not able to print Metadata on the photographic prints. We strongly recommend that if you wish to retain this information, you copy it yourself when you receive your order. The same is true for digital downloads.

Searching by Keyword

Many more will be added in the future.

Metadata keyword searches may be done within individual collections or globally across the entire site. This is controlled by the page from which you conduct the search from. 

The Search Bar is located at the upper right hand corner of the page.

Examples:

• To search Globally across all collections, perform your search from the Main archive page.
• To search only within a specific collection, start at that collection's home page.
• To search only within a gallery, start at that gallery.

See individual collection descriptions for details on the scope of metadata for the individual collections.

Examples of keywords would be railroad initials (e.g. CBQ, CS, FWD, C&EI, RI)

Or subject matter (e.g. depot, roundhouse, water tank, signal, boxcar, steam, diesel).

Or Searches even may by specific date (years), locations (city or state).

	Search bar is located in this upper right corner here

Publication Guidelines for Authors and Editors 

Metadata Keyword searches can be refined by adding more than one keyword in the search bar.
