Category Resources
There are some great category resources out there on the Web and this is a place to post some of
those helpful links. Here you'll find databases, encylopedias, and regional guides focused on a specific category.
An example would be listings of online copies of the WPA's American Guide books for the "American Guides" category,
or a photo database of Monopoly boards for the "Monopoly in the Real World" category. As category aficianados make us aware
of these resources we'll be sure to list them on the resource page so we can all share the knowledge.

Photographer's Rights
These guides in pdf format were written by the lawyers Bert P. Krages (U.S.) and Linda Macpherson (U.K.).
When waymarking, keep a copy in your camera bag so you have quick access to your rights and obligations
concerning confrontations over photography. Additional legal guides and references
for a variety of countries and locations can be found at www.photopermit.org. The guides can be shared as long as they are not used
for commercial gain, and credit to the listed authors are kept on the page.
