Mr. Jorgensen,
Dear Website:
I am writing to request permission to use a photograph from your website on our Literary and Cultural Heritage Map of Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Center for the Book has established an exhaustive website of people from or connected to Pennsylvania. On our Map, we have published biographies of nearly 1100 such people.
As an extension of our Map, we have also begun to commission articles on non biographical subjects: events from the past, food, music, and many others. Naturally, such articles need to be illustrated to encourage the general public and school children to read through the sometimes lengthy articles.
In our searches, we have found that your picture of a warning sign in Centralia, PA would make an excellent illustration for an article on the abandoned town we have received. We would like to ask you for permission post this picture as part of the article with a photo credit of your choosing.
This extensive website is used for education, research, and entertainment. Penn State and the Pennsylvania Center for the Book are dedicated to using the Internet to further research and public education, and see this as a wonderful opportunity to do both.
The non-profit Pennsylvania Center for the Book was approved by the Library of Congress to begin its operation on January 1, 2000, joining 41 (now 50) other state centers for the book in the United States. We are supported by the University Libraries at the Pennsylvania State University in University Park. The mission of the Pennsylvania Center for the Book is to study, honor, celebrate, and promote books, reading, libraries, and literacy to the citizens and residents of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
We have found that most of the people and companies we contact agree with the importance of our mission and in the value of the Map to children and to the general public. We hope that you concur and will grant us permission to use your photograph on a permanent basis. You may find one of our feature articles at pabook.libraries.psu.edu/palitmap/MartinGuitar.html to see what the finished pieces look like, along with a couple model photo credits.
Thank you for your time and consideration in helping us to promote Pennsylvania’s cultural heritage. Please respond by email, U.S. mail or telephone at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
Alan Jalowitz
