Version 1.0 Images of Birmingham. Copyright 2002

The making of this CD Rom is as a result of hours of time consuming photography, design work and the dedication of a small team of photographers and web designers from Birmingham UK Com and Virtual Brum. Both independent websites and the photographers involved are not part of some large corporation with money to burn. The decision to combine resources and come up with the necessary funding and sharing of information has created the first such CD Rom for Birmingham and the West Midlands. We have done our best to try and keep the price as affordable as possible.

With your help and contribution, by purchasing this CD Rom, you are helping to maintain these two significant websites and allow their continuation and expansion. The servers alone now cost £2500 per annum to operate and the daily download transfer from both websites is a massive 900MB per day ! We are pleased to be working together with Virtual Brum and would recommend that you take a look at their website. Between the two sites we have just about everything covered.
