About Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation (PHLF) Plaques

Rules:
1- Photos should show the PHLF Plaque

2- Photos should be submitted in Pairs (only two pictures of each landmark):
a- A readable close-up of the plaque itself, with the plaque
making up over 50% of the frame.
b- A shot showing the location of the plaque.
The shot should show the landmark, as well as allowing a
first time visitor to easily locate the plaque.

3- The location of the landmark is mandatory. Use the "map" function or list the address and/or GPS coordinates are also good.

4- The date the plaque was issued (if known) should be mentioned in the caption. (PHLF plaques don't show an issuance date)

5- Try to add landmarks that are not in the pool yet.

6- If you want to add a picture of a landmark that someone else has already put into the pool:
a- make sure your photo is substantially different than the one(s)
in the pool already.
b- In the "comment" section, include a "Small" size photo/link
to the plaque which is already in the pool.

7- If the landmark has changed names, a photo of both the old and new versions of the plaque are welcomed. (example: If you had a shot of the PHLF plaque reading "Sixth Street Bridge" that would be a nice addition, as the existing plaque reads "Roberto Clemente Bridge")

8- If you find your picture(s) has been removed, it is probably because you posted more than the two required pictures of the same landmark. Or maybe the picture is not of a historic landmark at all.
