packardlibrary.com --- Have I been missing this, or is it a new site? Either way, a great source for Packard information.

Been around 3-4 yrs I believe. I hadn't spent much time there and from the thread on AACA, others were in same boat because it needed an unknown (to most) plugin to view their literature offerings.

I shy away from anything not standard but finally broke down and put it on after checking it out a bit & finding the djvu file was apparently legit. They do have some original older literature -- things not available here and the quality is good---in some cases very good.

The reasoning for the format as advertised is better quality for a smaller file size but looking at identical pieces from there and here, am not sure that is a totally valid argument. The pdfs here in comparable scan size are as good but are so much more widely supported--in large part native on the Mac and multiple viewing programs available on Windows. The djvu host plugin is not nearly as friendly on a Mac as either Preview or Reader--can't speak for the Windows version.

They were actually around before Pinfo. But they was a point there for almost two years where there was no new content added to it. I have checked it recently to see if they have updated anything or added any additional content.

I remember they did have a nice collection of pre-war service letters.

Dave Schumaker has been working on that site off and on for almost 5 years. Dave's a good guy, but he still owes me a carburetor....

Eric - Dave's number and email are posted on the website. Suggest you remind him directly as he does not frequent this site. And you still owe me front bumper braces.

Dave, been there done that several times. He's worse than I am on sending stuff off!
