[Bell Historians] The ongoing evolution of Dove online

[Carl S Zimmerman]

Excellent point, Richard!
For my TowerBells Website, I can reconstruct any page that was ever visible to the public.  Although I have never yet had a call to do so, the archive exists, because lost information cannot be reconstructed.  (It has on occasion proved useful for backup & recovery purposes.)

Whilst understanding the need to avoid mission creep, the thing I 
discovered some years ago was that Dove was only retaining current 
information, so when a recasting happened the info about the former 
installation was simply dropped, and as I was led to understand, not 
even retained as archive copies.

I was told it I wanted older info, I would have to resort to the 
published bookcopies of Dove.

Whatever else happens, it must keep archive material.
