<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robp, post: 5398203, member: 96746&quot;]You can never have enough books or catalogues. I think people are becoming too reliant on the internet, assuming with a false sense of security that the information will always be there, but that won&#039;t necessarily be the case. A website revamp and a lot of things frequently go missing. It doesn&#039;t matter whether the removal of info was intentional, unintentional or due to some software incompatibility - it&#039;s gone. It may be auction listings or it may be articles, but once it has gone the only way people will rediscover the information is to read the printed word. </p><p><br /></p><p>A good example of the above was following a redesign of the Spink website, where some sales were kept, but all the back issues of the Numismatic Circular previously available to view disappeared. I&#039;m often asked if I have any spares of many issues.</p><p><br /></p><p>DNW&#039;s archive is only good for the past 8 or 10 years because the pictures (if available) are dire prior to this. The same can be said for many archives including Heritage etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>If people are comfortable relying on good fortune so be it, but don&#039;t assume the info will only be a mouse click away.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
