I found where someone posted a link to some of the more recent Restorer magazine but that link only has issues from 2022-2017. Are all the other issues stored somewhere electronically where members can get access to them? I imagine that there is a lot of knowledge in the previous issues that would be great for members to be able to access.
Here is the link that I found that gives access to some of the more recent issues.
When I first joined I saw that you could purchase previous issues of the Restorer magazine through the store but $60 for a DVD that most people couldn't play anymore since DVDs are really a ting of the past. Even $60 seems really high for a price, I reached out to see if any of the Out of Stock would be available and I was told "no time soon".
I also read on a post that the NCRS removed the previous issues of the magazine as a cost saving measure. It costs nothing to convert the magazine into a PDF and upload the PDF to a web server and make the link to the PDF available to members.
Simeone even went through the trouble of indexing all of the articles and documenting them in a pdf file so you can see what was in each issue. That is great and all, only if you have every issue in hard copy. https://www.ncrs.org/contact/Restorer_Index.pdf
I am hoping I am wrong and someone can point me to where all of the issues are hosted as pdf files.
This seems like such a no brainer and such an easy thing to do to provide to the members.
