Default uk hi fi history website

Pleased to report that the ukhhsoc public website is now being produced.

The society currently has a collection of thousands of files relating to
various hifi products, makers, etc. So far as possible within limitations
of copyright the aim is to make these openly available via a web archive.

http://www.torrens.org.uk/ukhhsoc/AudioDocs.html

The above page is the address which people can use to access the items made
public so far. Note that this process has only just started. So as yet only
a small fraction of the items are available at present. Others will be
added. But I thought people might be interested in knowing what's going on
and check out the sort of items that will become available. :-)

FWIW I'm currently adding some items per manufacturer in an alphabetical
order to give the widest possible coverage first. I'll then go back and
expand the number of items for marques where we have a lot more items. The
current full collection is well over 3,000 items. But it will take a while
to get those put up in an organised and easily accessible arrangement.

There is also now a short info page on ukhhsoc at

http://www.torrens.org.uk/ukhhsoc/

Again, this will be epanded later on. But for now I'm trying to give adding
documents priority.

At some point 'feature' pages should also appear that deal with various
topics from the history of uk hi-fi.
