The SUBCLUB discussion FORUM -- which started in 1996 -- is now archived

If you have subminiature photography questions, the SUBCLUB discussion FORUM -- which started in 1996 -- is now archived and available to all. After all, many questions pertaining to these cameras were a lot easier to answer 30 years ago.

Here's a summary from the "manager":

I’m happy to announce the first release of the Submini-L Archive v1.2, a fully searchable and curated edition of our mailing list covering messages from 1996 through 2025.

This version includes:

Cleaned message content (MIME headers removed)
Full-text search (FTS5) for subjects and message bodies
Custom SQL views (search by year, sender, or topic)
Metadata and versioning for long-term access

Designed for use with SQLiteFlow, DB Browser, or your favorite SQLite tool. (I am using SQLiteFlow on my iphone and iPad with great success).

This is the first release of the databse. I welcome feedback, corrections, and suggestions for future versions — including any missing messages (there are many missing from 1996) or new view ideas.

Download v1.2 ZIP Package:

Many thanks to everyone who contributed over the years and made this list a success.
