The Jackson County Historical Society (JCHS) uses social media platforms to tell our county's stories, connect more deeply with our audiences, and reach a wider audience, providing more opportunities for civic engagement. Comments are not pre-moderated on most platforms and will be immediately released into the public domain. We respect different opinions and intend for our social media platforms to foster thoughtful and respectful conversation. This means that while JCHS does not discriminate against any views, we reserve the right to remove the following types of content:
-violent, obscene, profane, hateful, bigoted, or racist language or context
-comments that may be a security risk to JCHS archival or collections holdings
-comments that promote commercial services or products
-comments that promote or oppose any partisan political party, person campaigning for elected office, or any ballot proposition
-gratuitous links to sites
-comments from users under the age of 14
Additionally, for your own safety please do not post personally identifiable information such as social security numbers, addresses, and telephone numbers. Comments containing this information will be removed. Communications made via JCHS social media pages will in no way constitute a legal or official notice or comment by the Jackson County Historical Society or any official or employee for any purpose. Commenting may be disabled on some Jackson County Historical Society posts on social media platforms. Members of the media are asked to pose their questions to the Jackson County Historical Society executive director through their normal channels and to refrain from submitting questions in comments or messages on social media platforms.
