     Archive Updates


I will be adding new security protocols for accessing the Archives...  along with sessions to prevent multiple logins from same Username...  This will be integrated with Facebook or Email or text message verification.  Some disruption to Archives may occur over the next several weeks as code is implemented and tested.
