RIGHTS & REMOVALS

Every mark has an owner.

The American Golf Archive documents the identities of American golf clubs and championships. Those identities belong to the institutions that created them. This page explains how they appear here and how to ask for a change.

Club and championship marks

Club names, crests, logos, seals, and championship marks shown in the Archive are the trademarks or copyrighted works of their respective owners. They appear only to identify those institutions and to document their history.

Their appearance here does not mean that any club, championship, association, or governing body sponsors, endorses, or is affiliated with the Archive. The Archive is an independent project, free to explore, and does not sell merchandise bearing any club's marks.

AGA merchandise

The Pro Shop sells American Golf Archive merchandise. Clubs, championships, governing bodies, and equipment makers documented in the Archive do not sponsor or endorse AGA products. An editorial entry or image credit does not indicate a merchandise partnership.

Photographs and archival material

Photographs, illustrations, and documents may have rights holders separate from the clubs, people, or objects they depict. Source links identify the evidence behind an entry; they do not grant permission to reuse the source material.

Image, text, and attribution concerns can be raised through the same contact below. Please identify the material and its page URL, explain your ownership or authority to act for the rights holder, and describe the correction or removal you are requesting.

Corrections, credit, and removal

If you represent a club or other rights holder and would like material corrected, credited differently, replaced with better artwork, or removed, write to archive@americangolfarchive.org with the name of the rights holder and the address of the page.

Every request receives a reply within five business days. A removal request from a club or its authorized representative is honored.

The Archive's own marks

American Golf Archive™ and the AGA monogram™ are trademarks of Christopher Whitelam. Please do not use them in a way that suggests a connection with the Archive.

The Archive claims copyright only in its own protectable writing, photography, illustrations, and design. Historical facts are not owned by the Archive, and third-party material remains subject to its owners' rights. This notice does not limit fair use or other uses permitted by law.
