Birding Frontiers website (1 Viewer)

Martin Garner's Birding Frontiers website hasn't had any updates, not even an obituary, since he died a couple of months ago. That suggests that Martin alone had password access for making new additions, with the other team members presumably passing their copy on to him for adding.

That means that once the subscription for the wordpress.org web space runs out, the whole lot will likely get pulled by the service provider.

Currently, the content is all available on archive.org - but they usually only archive the text and link back to the original for photos; once the original is pulled, archive.org will only have the text with no photos.

It is a very valuable resource, not one that should be allowed to disappear. Is anything being done to save the whole lot, pics and all?

It is actually hosted on GoDaddy

There are various website downloaders eg Winhttrack https://www.httrack.com/ that you could download the whole site with. But the first port of call would be the executors of any will.

I hope very much that it can be conserved for all - like many, many people it taught me so much!

There's a post from Sharon Garner today

It's still operating, had a mail just yesterday re Yellow Wagtails in Israel. I think this is the second post since Sharons tribute.
