Technical comment: If the pages and links were not Flash and Frames,
Google (and other people) would find them much easier.
Also, if the owner of the pictures would upload even one or two of
these to Flickr.com, it would be a great start. The first 100 photos
per user are totally free to host.

Well, maybe that is a problem that needs to be acknowledged and dealt
with. I know a fancy new website is in the plans, but (even being a
techie) I think it is more important to have information correct
rather than flashy. Even to have a small link at the bottom of each
page saying 'report problem with this page' might do wonders.
