Orkney Image Library

By popular request the area formerly known as Hoy in our Area categories has been changed to Hoy and Walls. I hope this meets the approval of the folk from Waas.

You could do that in the 60s appparently! Jim Eunson has posted a series of pictures from a scrapbook detailing this operation, and the first half have been uploaded to the public area of the site today. Come back tomorrow for the rest of these fascinating pictures!

I'm delving into pictures that have been bulk uploaded in the past, that I've held back to avoid swamping you with images that are similar all at once. They don't show up in the thumbnails below, which is strictly chronological by the date the pictures were submitted - so you might not see them. But you will if you use the Latest Additions button.

The time has come to take stock and hopefully improve things on Orkneycommunities and the Orkney Image Library. I still bear the scars from last time, but I hope you will have mellowed with time and agree that the teething problems were generally sorted out, and suggestions taken on board. And who can deny that the Big Picture facility is an improvement?

Anyway, changes proposed are not radical (at present). I'm keen to get the search facility greatly improved, and maybe introduce other ways of displaying search results. Any suggestions for that, and for anything else, gratefully received.

Cheers
Steven
