Hi all, Nigel has suggested that I put in a brief thread about my website. Although it has been running for nearly a year, there is still a colossal amount of work to do on it. Basically it is a history of all wild animal collections worldwide with brief notes on their history. So far I have about half the info for the UK, I have started on the USA and thanks to Nigel I have begun on Australasia. You can view the website at www.zooarchives.50megs.com . Now for a favour: If anyone has any information on their local zoo(s) or scans of guidebooks, maps etc could I use them on the site? Paul
Pauls website I hope that other members are able to help Paul out , even if it is locating previous zoos that no longer exist . Paul was happy to put in my views of zoos that I have been to , I am sure that he will also publish zoo reviews about places that other members have been to ? ( Maybe this could be a way that we can tell the world what we think of the Irwins ? Crikey -- imagine the exposure ) seriously though , it would be good to help out like minded sites if we can ? Paul , do you know of any other people from your side of the world that would benefit from , and be part of Zoobeat forums ? I always enjoy reading about other non Australian members views ( I have nothing against Australians -- I reckon they are good folks , despite sporting rivalries between us ) but I think it is great to hear from zoo folk from the Northern hemisphere .
Other people I am in contact with a number of people from the UK and Europe who would join the forums. Some are even zookeepers!
Recent Changes Hi all, It's been a long time coming, but I have finally added a lot more information on the website (www.zooarchives.50megs.com) . Mostly for US Zoos, but a few others as well. Although I have to thank Nigel for most of the legwork for me!
