The early years.
Bruce remembers starting the family website around 1996–97. A surviving upload index describes its oldest entry as around August 1997. The precise launch date is unconfirmed; the dates below are the original upload labels, with approximate wording preserved.
These collections lived on the family’s earlier website host. They are kept separate from the later hidaka-gordon.com photo index. Recovered images are stored here, so viewing them does not depend on that old host.
