Hello All!
For the last 10 years I've been involved in building and
maintaining a site to chronicle and archive news clippings of
births, obits, marriages, and postcards, etc.. primarily of the
Welland Ontario region. It has since expanded into three
"sections" (Main, Tales, Events) each requiring their own CMS
installations.

all over southern Ontario and other pieces of history ..then

The S)earch feature works fairly well. Look up names, places,
dates. Even content of Comments is included.
I'll admit, that a fresher CMS design would be ideal (this *was*
innovative for its time 10 years ago afterall!), but the
original intent is primary an archive.
It is a project where the founders prefer to be known as "S & B"
Every newsclipping was cropped, resized, reshaped. That's over
10,000 now. Every post was planted and re-edited when required
- those exceed 11,000.
It runs on an older Wordpress version. I'd love to have a better
photo gallery. But it will have to do for a little while longer.
Porting to a newer WP would be *another* project!
And that's a little glipse of my world.
