Be part of " Detroit's Polonia" (Polish book)

I am compiling a photo history book for Arcadia Publishing.
http://www.arcadiapublishing.com/

It is entitled: "Detroit's Polonia".
It will be published in early 2006- possibly Paczki Day!
It is for East and West side communities. Hamtramck has it's own book.

***One of these photos will be on the cover of the book!***
Snapshots are OK

I can include up to 240 photos of the families and parishes on the east and
west side of Detroit.
I have been working with archives in the state and have lined up photos- but
the book still needs family photos. Snapshots are OK.
Photos must be scanned in Aug.

Colleagues have already shared some of their photos- but to get a great
Polonian photo album- I am putting out the call out to all of you.

The publishers only use actual photos that can be scanned. They cannot be in
an album or frame.
Our time span is 1875-1945.

I am looking for photos of :

*People at work (factories, around the house, in the garden)
*School activities (formal and informal- teams, classrooms, awards, altar
boys)
*Fraternal and other organizations: Polish Falcons, Lutnia Singing Society,
Third Order of Saint Francis.
*Soldiers: Haller's army, WWI, WWII - male and female
*Professionals: Lawyers, Doctors, Professors, Priests, Nuns , Architects
*Poles and their cars, hotrods, trucks
*Family parties
*Photos with several generations
*Buildings (Dom Polski) and homes, neighborhoods
* Family businesses, shoe, candy or clothing shops, grocery , beer stores,
ice houses, farms
* All religions: Catholic, Jewish, Lutheran, etc. Anyone have photos of Our
Savior Golgotha Church?
I will need to scan the photos. The publisher has exact standards and they
exceed the files that can be emailed.

Snapshots are OK
I can arrange to meet you at the Family History Center in Bloomfield Hills
or have you send it to me and I'll return it ASAP.
You will need to sign a release form allowing the photo to be used.
Snapshots are OK

I look forward to hearing from you- and looking at YOUR family album!
