Would you like to write a historical article for the MAC Web Site? If you have an amusing vignette, or historically pertinent piece of work, please just email it to us at info @ museumandartscenter.org
Requirements
- 1500 words or less
- Must be an essay, story, or interview
- Must incorporate local history
- While it certainly can be about your family, it can not be your genealogy, or family tree, as we compile family histories in the Archives of the Museum and Arts Center, and you are welcome to submit it there.
- Must be a stand alone essays and not rely on another body of work.
- At this time, we are unable to accept articles unless they can be emailed to us. Plain text in an email is fine -the formatting all changes for the web page. We are unable to accept CD's as we have encountered difficulties opening file formats when we don't have the exact program that you may have at home (either CD burning software, or word processing software may be different).
- Photographs can also be submitted as attachments, or you can bring in photographs to the DeWitt Building, 544 North Sequim Ave. Call for an appointment at 681-2257, ask for Bob Cooper, MAC Photographer. He will make a copy to convert into a digital image while you wait.
- You will have final approval of the article before it is posted. We will email you the edited copy as it will be posted, and ask for your permission to post it on the site. At that time you can specify how long we may keep it on the site. If you would like it archived, we can do that too, so that you will always be able to send friends and family to the site to read your essay.
- Make a separate copy for your records before sending your email. .
- We reserve the right to edit for clarity, brevity, and content.

Examples
For example, you could write about how your great grandmother taught at a one room schoolhouse in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley. Or you could talk about a picnic on the Dungeness River, where a rogue raccoon ran everyone off. A good example of this type of writing would be the Sequim Alumni Newsletter,The Ditchwalker.
