Why These Terms Matter

The Combe Martin Village History Project (CMVHP) exists to preserve and share our local heritage for the benefit of educators, researchers, and community members.

These terms aren’t just legal safeguards—they’re a reflection of our values: 

  • To protect the original work of our volunteer historians

  • To ensure free, non-commercial access for schools, libraries, and learners

  • To encourage respectful sharing and proper attribution

  • To uphold legal compliance and editorial integrity

  • To include safeguarding policies

  • By following these terms, you help us keep CMVHP open, trustworthy, and educationally useful for everyone. 

ABOUT CMVHP

CMVHP is a grassroots, non‑profit initiative dedicated to enhancing accessibility to historical research. We publish our work online as a non‑commercial, community‑curated secondary archive, with all content licensed exclusively for educational, research, and scholarly use.

Our policies help us to safeguard our users, site and archive, ensuring that genuine community contributions—articles, memories, and archival photos—receive priority in line with our mission. 

CMVHP is a dedicated research project, not a general knowledge aggregator. Our site is built around original investigation, curated archival materials, and carefully structured narratives.

It is not about collecting random facts or serving as a catch‑all encyclopedia.
