Special Collections: Request a photo shoot
Google partners with organizations all over the world to publish Street View content of interesting places. These include:
If you manage a property of geographic, touristic, historical or cultural (including pop culture) significance, you can ask our team to visit your location for a photo shoot. We'll work with you to determine the right type of camera equipment for your site (car, Trekker backpack, indoor trolley, snowmobile, etc.) and the best time to visit.
The content we collect can be seen on Google Maps, Street View, Search, and more. You can even add the Street View imagery to your website using our Google Maps and Street View APIs.
If you'd like to take advantage of this free service and be considered for a Special Collections partnership, fill out the form below. We’ll contact you if we’re able to visit your property.
NOTE: YOU MUST BE THE PROPERTY OWNER OR AN AUTHORIZED MANAGER OF THE LOCATION TO SUBMIT THE FORM.

This program is open to pro photographers, travelers, and organizations (such as tourism boards, non-profits, government agencies, universities or research groups).

It is ok, @Shasi
But try to imagine if you wrote something, then you find your production in a post of another member, without any mention stating that you are the author 😞
But you have always the opportunity to press the black dots on the right top of your post, choose edit, and correct it.
