Having worked on the Aireborough Historical Society website with Carlo for a number of years, it was to me Carlo turned to for help on how to translate his vision of an archive of audio recordings into a website and something which could be preserved for future generations. I designed the website cut out the pictures and created the template for Carlo to populate with the content.
