'The Kintyre Mag

' website after the Spring of 2006, thewebsite was seemingly kept online until early in 2010, when its disappearance came assomething of a disappointment and indeed a matter of concern as many people around TheWorld found the website and its contents of great interest.Fortunately, thanks to the Internet Archivehttp://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.kintyremag.co.uk/the website had been 'trawled' on89 occasions between 2004 and 2007 and all 73 issues of 'The Kintyre Mag' seem to havebeen safely secured on the Internet Archives' in America and Egypt, where the organisation'sbackup servers are located to store some 150 BILLION pages of websites, many of these nowno longer online.Of necessity, as all the 'URL addresses' of all the issues and all their webpages now begin withthe Internet Archive 'URL prefixes', it has been necessary here to create a completely newcontents listing with the new page links and anyone using any of the 'composite' indexes,such as the "A - Z" index athttp://www.scribd.com/doc/5999486/Kintyre-Magazine-Kintyre-Web-and-Kist-Magazine-Composite-Indexcross-referencing 'The Kintyre Magazine' articleswith those in these editions of 'The Kintyre Mag' should now use the links to be found here, afull contents, issue-by-issue, list to 'The Kintyre Mag' can be found e.g. athttp://www.scribd.com/doc/5998858/Kintyre-Magazine-Web-Edition-Contents To view any particular issue of 'The Kintyre Mag' or any particular article listed in the indexes,simply note the issue and/or page number given in the index and GO TO THE LINK(S) on thepages HERE and one will then be taken to the 'archived' copy on the Internet Archive servers. Too, because of the archiving process, article pages may belong to different 'trawling' circuitsand, whilst page links in some archived magazine issues may not work directly from thatparticular magazine issue, the page links here should take one to the required article(s).Sadly, in some cases, many of the photographs, illustrations and drawings were not securedin the archiving processes.More can be found about The Internet Archive's 'Wayback Machine' athttp://www.archive.org/web/web.phpand there is a 'FAQ's' page athttp://www.archive.org/about/faqs.php#The_Wayback_Machine The following note was given in the introduction to the very first, January 1997, issue of 'TheKintyre Mag' - "It is with the kind permission of the encumbent Vice-President of The Society,Mrs Frances Hood FSA Scot., that I am able to bring you these wonderful articles and talesfrom a bygone age. Ian Forshaw, 2 Jan '97".It is clearly apparent that much effort and many patient hours of work went into the creation of 'The Kintyre Mag' and it is now hoped that these links to its issues and pages will prove of great value to researchers and historians now and in time to come.
