New Web Site Server On-line: Sigh!!! We did it! We have found a new affordable server to host the site. After allot of work we have moved all of our web site data that was possible and everything is now running on our new server. HCCC lives. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
A few glitches were experienced along the way. The most significant was for our members photo gallery. We have a new and improved members photo gallery but the old images and data was lost. Please share if you are able!
Here are the links to the HCCC members features:

Web Site Stats: Site Traffic has increased this quarter. This last month we were almost back up to 50,000 page impressions for September using our new statistics program.
CAMERA SHOWS: We get typical questions asking if a camera shows is in a specific city. Although we do our best to update the calendar it is always, not easy to answer this question and details are best if received from the show promoters web site. To make this easier we have compiled a list of shows and promoters so that you can easily find the show in your area and know where to find more info about it. We may put it in a searchable database if it is liked. Check it out at http://www.historiccamera.com/camerashowz.html
Q4 New Memberships: Sign up for the quarter has been good. We had 20 new members join his quarter. This brings our membership up to 218 active. Please welcome our new members:
