NOTE: The first priority of the Manteno Project is the dissemination of information about the former Manteno State Hospital. There may be some confusion about the use of materials on this web site due to works in progress toward the publication of a book. Much of the information published on this site will also be included in that book and thus at some point may become copyrighted by the author or publisher.  Please keep in mind that due to these circumstances, changes may occur without prior notification.

The Manteno Project allows the use of some materials with the stipulation that credit be given to the Manteno Project. These materials may include photographs, documents, literature or artwork. No materials on this site may be used for commercial purposes, unless permission is obtained. Materials from this site used in any form must be unaltered copies, only.

These materials are readily available at various libraries and archives.

A great effort has been made to properly credit the origins of materials on this site.  Some contributed materials are credited to other persons, (anonymous or named) and collections. Many of these remain the physical or intellectual property of the Manteno Project by donation. Other contributions remain the sole property of the credited owner. These contributions are used by permission only.
