 | Has there been any progress with this archive, based at Keele University, following the collapse of the on-line search facility soon after it was launched? The website doesn't appear to have been updated recently.

| Hi Mark, As you've probably seen their website states 'The searchable catalogue will be launched in the future at a time when we can more accurately predict sustainable levels of demand and install appropriately sized hardware and software to fulfil this. We apologise for the inconvenience.' I would email them for a more detailed response Ryan

| They are remarkably uncontactable. As the website says you can't even order aerial photographs by post, as they haven't got the staff to process the orders.

 | The sight has undergone very little change since the ill-fated launch...and they do not reply to emails or at least not to any of the ones I have sent. <_< Quite sad as there was great promise in the site when it was first announced.
