New Photographs added, all date from before 1940.

Maps - No change, except with a final drill down
facility which enables the user to see the max-zoom
Map
in jpeg format. These are clearer than the final gif image.
Tours - The same tours as before, but linked to the new
Photograph & Category Albums.
This is effectively Version 2 of
the Cambridge Explorer, but without the WP Spalding Street Index for 1904.
It is far easier to use and
navigation is quick.

Note: The Cambridge Explorer
web-site and CD-ROMs are written using VML (Vector Mark-up Language).
VML is part of a submission
for recommendation to the World Wide Web Consortium.
At present only Microsoft
Internet Explorer v5 or newer caters for this facility.
Current versions of Netscape
Navigator do not. Other browsers have not been tested.
VML reduces graphic file
sizes and speeds up graphic file download times.
If you are unable to read the
web-pages on the rest of this web-site, you will not be able to read the
CD-ROMs either.
