I didn't know that this was being done. Eventually it will include the complete history of Panorama.

It's an important undertaking that will allow fascinating Porsche look-backs in time via past Panorama articles, writers, pictures, trends, people, ads and more - all important slices of Porsche history. Nice work PCA! :clap: :thumbup:

This will make research and finding that picture you remembered somewhere in the past three years much faster than sitting down with stacks of issues for three hours late some weekday evening trying to find that last tidbit of info without being distracted by all the other interesting tidbits that pull you off task....

Lolol

But so very, very true. Perfect description of how those kinds of things (and many other similar projects) play out!

This is great news as I have always wondered what the reviews were on certain cars back before my Porsche days.

I think this is good news -however the critical issue is how well they are indexed so that issues can be accessed easily.

Great point.

It would be extremely beneficial if they create a searchable database of some kind. PDFs would allow that to an extent but Pano/PCA is apparently not a fan of that format. I guess they don't want issues and articles saved on members' local machines which is unfortunate.
