Sydney Spectaculars has decided to begin removing old historic imagery from our blog in order to allow us to publish news stories with new imagery.
The decision was not taken lightly due to how we like to promote the history of Sydney’s iconic events. However, this was the only way to continue the blog.
In May, we began asking for donations in order to avoid today’s decision. We thank everyone who donated & all donors have been offered full refunds as a courtesy.
While this announcement currently only affects imagery, it may one day affecting video footage, though we hope this won’t end up being the case.
Despite today’s announcement, we would still like to request & receive donations of minimum 65 cents in order to try, keep & return historic imagery of Sydney’s iconic events online. If we do end up being successful in our aim, we will announce it via our donation counter on the side of our site (as you can see, we reached 21% of our aim so far). We also still encourage readers to become members (as ‘Spectators’) of the Sydney Spectaculars Society, which is free of charge to join currently.
Again, thank you to all donors.
