Aircraft Preservation : The Veys Collection is now availlable on Avialogs

We collaborate now with Avialogs to ensure better visibility to the Veys Collection.
Avialogs is a not for profit organization dedicated to preserve our aeronautic heritage and to build an online aviation library. You will find on this site technical documents, newspapers, books related to the various fields of the air.

About the Veys Collection
In August 2011, the collection Philippe Veys was given to the Brussels Air Museum Funds to be preserved digitally and put at the disposal of the aviation researchers. Most of them are rare sales brochures from the 30's, in French and German language.

Philippe Veys collaborated with many newspapers before World War 2 and collected documents about aviation. The Belgian Aviation History Library was selected for her capability to convert great quantities of paper to digital archives permitting easy access and the diffusion of this collection, the result of many years of hard labour of an Aviation Enthusiast.

The BAMF has allowed Avialogs to publish these unique documents.

If you want to use these documents, please mention Collection Philippe Veys.

3 years already for Avialogs.com !

2013, three years already for Avialogs !

3 years already and so many projects to do ...
Our new website is already on-line and will be further updated in the following months.
There are still a few bugs and section headings to perfect, but all the contents are available. 6,500 documents and a thousand photos.

Whilst the work is done by three volunteers, the server hosting (1 main, 1 backup and 2 TB of hard disk space) isn't free.  A document scanner is also under construction but cannot be completed without funds (comprising two digital cameras and remote control software).  Purchasing new documents is also expensive and is currently done with personal funds.

This project has so far had quite some success, establishing links with several organisations in Canada, U SA and soon into Europe.

Today, only about 10% of the users support the project financially.  If you are one of this minority, then our sincere thanks to you for your help, which enables us to pay for the hostings services.

If you haven't yet become a subscribed member, the cost is $14 for 6 months. The address : http://www.avialogs.com/register

A subscription gives full access to all the downloadable areas of the site but enables us to acquire new documents and to guarantee the non-commercial character of Aviologs: No adverts and no third party use of any subscribers data.

Another way to help is to give us documents (books, technical papers or manuals etc).  Contact me directly if you want to know how to proceed in this case.  The only stipulation is that the documents should be at least 20 years old for technical manuals and 50 years old for books.

Many thanks for your help and your support,

Benoit de Mulder - Avialogs.com
