Noland Adams Image Library

[David H.]

FYI: On another Corvette forum there is an advertisement for a Noland Adams photo library. Link below. Anyone know about this? Looks like subscription of $20 per year. Worth subscribing?

Re: Noland Adams Image Library

Dick, correct, but is there a way to check the quality of the goods?

Re: Noland Adams Image Library

Looks like for $20.00 the goods can be checked...

Re: Noland Adams Image Library

Someone should spend the $20 then post all the info here and on other sites for free. I always thought a hobby was about sharing info so other people could enjoy it too. Just my old 2 cents

That's how many hobbies work. This is a business.

Jim, Do you know for sure if Nolan turned over the rights to his whole data collection to this person?

Who does she think she is fooling with her attempt to explain why she "saved" Noland and his collection from all of the evil Corvette people? This womans's "plan" blows up as soon as all those evil Corvette people ban together and share the same user name and password for a SINGLE account on this website !!

Do you think she might just be stalling in "development" here until Noland and Mary are both out of the picture? Russ had this data ready to sell in much less time than she has spent.

I'd like to hear Russ's side of the story.

Michael ditto - Russ wrote me say 8 months back, did not sound good...

To the best of my knowledge, she has physical possession of almost everything Noland acquired during his active years of research.

I've been in Noland's catacombs when everything was still intact; there was a mind-numbingly huge amount of information there.

Who does she think she is fooling with her attempt to explain why she "saved" Noland and his collection from all of the evil Corvette people? This womans's "plan" blows up as soon as all those evil Corvette people ban together and share the same user name and password for a SINGLE account on this website !!

I dunno. There is certainly a lot of marketing hype and hand waving in what she posts in public.

Her premise is that evil Corvette people, if they had been allowed to purchase the Noland Adams Digital Collection assembled by Russ, would have made mass duplicates and distributed them for free. Methinks she underestimates the esteem in which Noland is held and the general ethical nature of those who would have cherished the Digital Collection.

Do you think she might just be stalling in "development" here until Noland and Mary are both out of the picture? Russ had this data ready to sell in much less time than she has spent.

I can't speculate about her motives.

I can tell you that the Noland Adams Digital Collection was ready to be produced and shipped when this woman persuaded Noland to halt the project. I've seen the Digital Collection.... it occupies approximately 140 GB of disk space and is just amazing.

In my opinion, that it won't see the light of day is a real shame on several levels:

1. It is a treasure trove of information we all would have enjoyed.
2. It deprives Noland of income
3. Russ's 1000+ man hours of pro bono effort were for naught.

I'm more than a little annoyed at this turn of events.... in case I've been too subtle in my choice of words.
