About the virtual museum

Submit your stuff!

To get this thing off the ground I'm looking for collectors to submit photos of the stuff in their collections of which they're most proud. These pieces needn't be extremely rare but it would be great, in the event they aren't scarce, that have an interesting story behind them. They should be in top condition. While the site focuses mainly on cans, any type of pre-1950 breweriana is welcome too. There are a few guidelines:

1. Please limit your submissions to 5 pieces.

2. One item per photograph. This will insure the highest clarity.

3. Please photograph your items outdoors in a sunny area or an adequately lit indoor area using natural light. Avoid using a flash as this creates glare and excessive reflections.

4. Photograph your item on a light, neutral color background such as white, tan or gray.

5. Use the highest resolution your camera will permit.

Once there is a critical mass I'll launch the museum and a Web form that will allow users to submit photos directly online. In the meantime, please e-mail them or any questions you may have using the link below. Please indicate:

 Whether you'd like to be identified as the owner of the piece or not
 The city and state in which you live
 How long you've been collecting
 What you collect
 A very brief background on the piece or why you're proud of it
