This is the
19th year of the Heitor Villa-Lobos Website, which has been an information
resource on the web since before blogs, Twitter, even before Google.
The website is hosted by Red Deer Public Library,
a great organization that I've been Director of all that time. As I
look towards my retirement from the Library in July 2013, though, it's
time to make a change or even retire the site.
I'm wondering if there's an organization out there that might want
to host this site. It would be a shame to lose the information on more
than 950 recordings, and especially the fairly comprehensive database of
concerts from 1999 to the present. A new host could either post a
read-only archive of the existing site, or add content moving forward. Let me know if you have any ideas!
The site has had some significant traffic: 425,000 visits and 1.2
million page views since Google Analytics was turned on in 2008. This
is from 205 countries, with 23% of the traffic from Brazil, 22% from
the US, and 5% from each of the UK, Canada, & Germany. The site is
built in Drupal v.5.
