2 years of National Masters News added to archive; photos coming

The 300th issue of National Masters News — September 2003.

The 300th issue of National Masters News — August 2003.

Some good news and great news: Saturday I added 22 issues of National Masters News to mastershistory.org — our USATF-subsidized online museum. The issues are from 2003 and 2004 — all except the December editions. (I have them somewhere.) So now we have 338 issues of NMN online from 1977 to 2006. Also coming soon: thousands of original photos from NMN. They’ve been scanned as PDFs, many with the original caption information attached. The idea is to make them searchable. (This means Google will list them.) I’m uploading the images soon to a photo archiving service attached to the history site, and you’ll be able to download the images to your desktop or mobile device. A gallery has been a longtime dream of the USATF Masters Historical Archive Committee led by Jeff Davison. Click photo below to see example of a month’s worth from August 1992.

The great Walt Butler leads a race in one of the photo PDFs coming to SmugMug.
