Those are exactly the questions, yes. I have a feeling part of the answer may be wide distribution, so that even if the original preserver of the information dies etc, there are enough other people out there who have access to it to 'keep it alive'.

So I would encourage as many people as possible to save pics, forum threads etc, that interest you as soon as you see them, so that if they've disappeared some years from now, you have a copy.

If anyone's interested in becoming a friend or 'keeper' of the vintage gallery (preferably someone aged under 50!) then please let me know.
