We welcome any images that are relevant to the individual, such as photographs of the person, headstone photos, or images of significant documents for the individual. Most common image formats are accepted and supported. We recommend that you upload original images and not one that have been scaled down to a lower resolution. If your image was taken with a smartphone or other devise that is capable of recording geographic coordinates, please enable that feature as Histopolis will make use of that information.
