Your message and email address will be used to read and respond to the research interest you raise. Please send only what is needed for that conversation. Do not send identity documents, contracts, private documents, artwork files or other attachments. Share public sources as links.
Writing does not subscribe you to updates, grant membership, or give the project permission to publish your contribution. Any proposed use will require a separate agreement about the material, attribution and scope. A response or collaboration cannot be guaranteed.
Ordinary correspondence will be cleared 90 days after the matter is closed. Material for a separate research collaboration will have its own agreed terms. You can use the same address to request correction, an end to contact, or deletion of related correspondence.
Messages sent to this address will be forwarded to Gmail through the domain email forwarding service provided by Dynadot. The clearing arrangement applies to mail managed by the project; it is not a promise to remove every copy held by these providers. This website has no form or file upload function.
