Welcome!

If you are looking for a web exhibit about Purcell and Elmslie, Architects, click here.

The frame boundaries are MOVEABLE.

The left frame presents an outline of the Guide to the William Gray Purcell Papers, a finding aid to this archival collection.  The right frame displays texts and images attached to individual references within the treeview. Links to external web sites and internal web exhibits launch new browser windows.

The work-in-progress here displays the contents of a manuscript I finished about ten years ago. The data as seen here is in the process of being transliterated from the paper to the electronic format.  The body of the book is largely, but not completely, transferred. References in brackets are the location identifiers for the materials cited.  PLEASE take a moment and look at the READ ME text.

I've opened this up to see if anyone uses it and, if they do, what events might be generated on the server. Some of the downloads, like the P&E commission list, are long and take a little processor time for the server to parse. Be patient.
