Tinho - hi! has there been any more movement in regard to the future of
the Aerofilms Photo Archive do you know? We had a thought that perhaps
we could use the current AHRC stragetgic resource enhancemnet programme
http://www.ahrc/apply/research/sfi/ahrcsi/strategic_resource_enhancement_programme.asp
in some fashion??
regards
