Thanks for the welcome Paulene,
Another hint I should have given at the start was: if something in particular comes up that you're looking for, and it may show up several times in a book, do a search on the right hand side BEFORE you download it, and make a note (keep all the books in one folder, and one notepad/text file saved to the same folder, with reference to the book/pages), because once you download it, as I understand it, you can't search it for particular words. I always download them, because for some reason, I can't find books that I have found in there previously.
I've checked out each of the boards, including the photographic restoration one. Excellent work done by all involved (ticking over in my mind which photos I have already that may need a 'fix up'
)
I'm amazed by the sheer volume of information in one spot, that's FREE, and the work done by those who offer it. Don't know how I didn't find this site years ago, as it was only by accident I ended up here now. Maybe I skipped over it because it had the word Chat in it. Not a big fan of chat rooms, so who knows. Either way, here now, love what I've found, and have set up a permanent camp in the corner
Congratulations to those who founded, and work hard at making this place what it is
Victoria
