Privacy Notice
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires the us to publish a Privacy Notice with information about the personal data we hold. We hold the names of all people who have contacted us about the history of Box and its residents.

How Can I Disagree or Amend Articles?
Write to us at boxpeopleandplaces@yahoo.co.uk OR use the Contact tab to get in touch. We welcome your help in correcting errors and typos.
Why Do We Use Outdated Measurements and Terms?
We use the terminology in use at the time. Occasionally this includes words now considered inappropriate (such as spinster, lunatic or gypsy). We explain this through footnotes but if anything offends you, please tell us and we will address your concern.
Why Do We Use Italics So Much?
We use italics to show original wording from old documents (including mis-spelling). We also use it for words that have dropped out of common usage or whose meaning has altered over time (showing the modern translation in brackets). We sometimes use it to give editorial comment to differentiate from the author's text.
