Re: FHS Journals -access to
In Response To: FHS Journals -access to ()

I'd be very happy to host them - however restricting access to members only is not readily achievable on my site - the previous arrangement was that I put the early issues on-line, partly as an attraction to gain new members and partly because no copies existed for resale (the typing + reproduction also left much to be desired), and donated the index I'd done, to the Society to sell - the index needs updating to cover later years (catch is that there is a card index at the manx Museum so local researchers don't need an online version) - maybe a further compromise could be worked out as the society has not as yet wanted to embrace computers.

A few contributors have given me their personal contributions for posting on my site - eg the articles by Wally Corrin on the Arbory Corrin's have been updated and will shortly be on my site, however I'm not trying to upstage the society here - I find it totally time consuming to keep my site updated and really don't want to take on another site especially being off-Island a considerable amount as this seems to remove many lines of communication and leads to misunderstandings.
