OVApedia
OVApedia is an expanding historical archive to which anyone can contribute. It was originally designed to record short biographies of individuals who once lived in the Lower Otter Valley; though, for obvious reasons, it is only concerned with people no longer living. But the concept has been expanded to include short family histories (though not family trees) and historical articles relevant to the area. It provides local historians, and those with an interest in history, an opportunity to record small pieces of work in a way that is instantly and publicly available. Advice is being sought on the best way to store this archive permanently.
Anyone may submit an entry through Make an Entry.
All entries will be reviewed by a moderator, who is appointed by the OVA Executive Committee. The moderator may ask for editorial changes to be made, otherwise editing will be restricted to correcting obvious minor typographical or format inconsistencies. The moderator may also reject entries that might be considered to be inappropriate or insufficiently researched, or refer entries to the Executive Committee for a final decision. The content of any entry, therefore, reflects the views of the author and, unless otherwise stated, the author retains the copyright of his or her work.
