Hi Sandra and Gargoyle...

A couple of things come to mind since my previous post...

1: Things on the internet are not as persistent as we might like to think (depends on server maintenance, fees to pay and many other things). So, it makes sense to go with the "big guys" who have a vested interest in keeping content on line, with minimal down time... just today I saw a report regarding scientific publications with DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers, that are intended to be permanent links to "something") saying (among other things):

"“Many people have the blind assumption that if you have a DOI, it’s there forever,” says Mikael Laakso, who studies scholarly publishing at the Hanken School of Economics in Helsinki. “But that doesn’t mean that the link will always work.” In 2021, Laakso and his colleagues reported2 that more than 170 open-access journals had disappeared from the Internet between 2000 and 2019."

and

"“Everybody thinks of the immediate gains they might get from having a paper out somewhere, but we really should be thinking about the long-term sustainability of the research ecosystem,” Eve says. “After you’ve been dead for 100 years, are people going to be able to get access to the things you’ve worked on?”"

(Full news article at More than 2 million research papers have disappeared from the Internet)

Also - some folks might be interested to know that Sandra (as per post/s above) has already uploaded some of her photos to Wikimedia Commons, as suggested at the start of this thread - you can find her list here .

Onwards and upwards, and thanks for the comments - Tony
