If you have any material relating to the Forest of Dean people or places that you would like to share and add to our collection, please send it to Forest of Dean Documents Upload
Also, it is important that you title images and scanned documents appropriately before sending them to us so we know what they contain. Having a scanner generated title such as img012 is confusing and must be changed.
You must not reproduce material other than stated in our Copyright Statement, or store any part of this site in any other website (or public or private electronic retrieval system), without the prior written consent of the copyright holder, is a violation of copyright law.
You can, of course, send friends or colleagues “links” to the relevant pages of our website, for them to download material for their own personal use. This can often be the easiest way to share information.
