The best was simple web pages set up by people who knew their subject, and put
their findings on the Internet for posterity. They too are harder to find,
but you come accross them from time to time. Simple HTML pages, some inline
images, thats it. I save webpages that are good references to an archive hard
disk, incase I need it later and the site or page dissapears.
In the it will be book that stand the test of time, or patiently built digital
archives that are handed down.
