At my last update, I eluded to an announcement which was then in the early planning stages. I had been talking to The National Library Of Wales looking for some more up to date OS maps as the ones I had were missing some detail and the conversation turned to my website. A few days later, I received an email. Allow me to quote a few words from it : "The National Library of Wales would like to invite you to participate in the UK Web Archive by archiving your web site (http://www.pillars-of-faith.com/*). The UK Web Archive is a partnership between the National Library of Wales, the British Library, JISC, and the Wellcome Library, to preserve website for future users. We have identified this web site as an important part of Wales' documentary heritage and would like it to remain available to researchers in the future. The archived copy of your web site will form part of our permanent collections." I am now rather humbled to announce that my little website is now part of the UK Web Archive : http://www.webarchive.org.uk/ukwa/subject/66/page/23 Some of the features of the site, for technical reasons, are not available. However the main content can still be accessed one chapel at a time - my knowledge of programming is rather limited but when time allows I will see if these technical issues can be overcome. Apologies for the commercial but it does make all the effort in making/researching the site all the worthwhile.
David, Congratulations!!! Absolutely awesome!
