Do you have photographs from when you or your family lived in Temescal that
you would like preserved for posterity? Perhaps you have materials relating to the
history of your Temescal business, school, church, social club, or block party? If so,
we invite you to submit them to this collection, and, in doing so, add your part of
Temescal’s unique story.
The types of documents we welcome include:
Photographs, Letters, Postcards Maps

You can choose to donate your original documents, or we can make digital copies
of them and return the originals to you (our preference). Any future public use
by Shared Ground of material we receive from you will acknowledge you or your
family, and you will retain all copyrights that apply.
Keep in mind that documents which you might consider to have no relevance to
Temescal often can reveal something important about the neighborhood.
The process of sharing your Temescal-related material is simple, and begins by your emailing to us
a fillable PDF form and your digital document (ideally scanned at 300 dpi). Please use one form per
document.
Email these two documents to: sharedground@gmail.com
Shared Ground will confirm receipt of your email and follow up with any questions we might have. While we welcome your contribution, we reserve the right to accept or reject all or part of it according to our assesssment of its relevance to Temescal history, the nature of your document description, or the appropriateness of your submission to the community of users of this website.
