Subject: Broken link

Dear Colleagues,
I found that you have stopped hosting an historical website
http://www.gly.bris.ac.uk/WWW/TerraNova/terranova.html
which is reported in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access_journal

"History

Many journals have been subsidized ever since the beginnings of scientific journals. It is common for those countries with developing higher educational and research facilities to subsidize the publication of the nation's scientific and academic researchers, and even to provide for others to publish in such journals, to build up the prestige of these journals and their visibility. Such subsidies have sometimes been partial, to reduce the subscription price, or total, for those readers in the respective countries, but are now often universal.

In 1998, one of the first open access journals in medicine, the Journal of Medical Internet Research (JMIR)[8] was created, publishing its first issue in 1999.

One of the very first online journals, GeoLogic, Terra NOVA,[9] was published by Paul Browning and started in 1989. It was not a discrete journal but an electronic section of Terra Nova. Open access stopped in 1997 due to a change in the policy of the editors (EUG) and publishing house (Blackwell)."

I think it is important to re-install this "founding" site.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Bruno R.C. Granier (Prof. Dr habil.)
