Those were all lost when the site was revised.
I tried to recover things using Archive.org but none of the links now work, and all the images are gone

The old site also had a number of albums using the image host site Picture Trail - which ceased operation in 2021, so all those albums were lost.

Of course I have the albums and images saved, both on my computer and in the internet universe, but trying to recreate the albums with the current site format is not doable - at least by me
AND BTW all the FAQs had to be edited and images restored when the site changed.
Despite all the challenges and frustration, Bill & Dr Jim have however done a wonderful job, as volunteers, in creating and maintaining the best doublegun collectors' site on the web. The BOD has discussed the future possible need to pay a website professional at some point.
