Brilliant way to end the week. On the left is over 40 years of a clients own research that they handed over to me. On the right is all their years of hard work scanned, entered and neatly packaged for them. A very satisfying result!

If you have never used the Internet Archives before, this is a great time to try it out. Since 1996 this website has been archiving the internet. The searchable collection of metadata is mind boggling! I was using it this week and decided to enter "Pilot Mound". I was thrilled to see a few "new" photos! Give it a try!
