What was new in these pages in 2001?

This page reports on the evolution of this collection of pages during the year 2001.  This helps to keep the "What's New" page to a manageable size. The changes are reported in reverse order, with the latest at the top.  Dates show when pages were installed on the Web server, which is not always the same as their internal dates of revision.  Revisions to the list of non-carillon things will not be reported, nor will minor (cosmetic) editorial fixes.

For changes which took place subsequent to 2001, see "What's New".

Revised the Map Use Hints pages to reflect the discovery that MapsOnUs does not handle locations outside of the USA.  The new site data pages have no locator maps because the MapBlast service is again inoperative.

2001/10/18 - Revised the Map Use Hints page to reflect the change in site locator map service from MapBlast to MapsOnUs.
Added new-style site locator maps to the five site data pages uploaded on 10/16.

2001/10/16 - Add three site data pages and revised two, all included in a new index of zvons; revised other pages and indexes accordingly.

2001/10/15 - Discovered that the MapBlast free link service which we have been using to provide individual site locator maps has been discontinued without notice, and no feasible [later: read "apparent"] alternative is offered by that provider. Fortunately, the MapBlast direct display service which is used for area locator maps is unaffected, at least for the time being.  The possibility of using a similar service from a different source is being investigated.

2001/10/15 - Revised the 70 site data pages for existing single-phase non-traditional carillons in North America (list IX011001.HTM removed to archive in 2007) to include identification of the foundry which provided the bells for each instrument, and revised all affected indexes.
Added site data page for the non-traditional carillon at

WINAMAC                       : USA - IN    
and revised all affected indexes and summaries.  The total number of such instruments in North America is now 93.

2001/10/11 - Replaced 15 pages from the preceding (10/05) update which had been mysteriously corrupted between creation and upload.  (Total recovery from the file corruption problem required purchase of a new hard drive and complete reconstruction from backups, hence the delay of more than a week before this replacement could be done.)

2001/10/05 - Revised the 18 site data pages for multi-phase non-traditional carillons in North America (list IX010930.HTM removed to archive in 2007) to include identification of the foundry which provided each phase of bells for each instrument (as yesterday's work).

2001/10/04 - Corrected the name of the bellfounder for the new traditional carillon at

SPRINGFIELD --                : USA - MO   
Revised the 80 site data pages for multi-phase traditional carillons in North America (list IX010925.HTM removed to archive in 2007) to include identification of the foundry which provided each phase of bells for each instrument (whether they still remain or not), and/or the firm which provided a new keyboard.  Revised all bellfoundry indexes accordingly.  (Keyboard makers who are not bellfounders are not indexed.)

2001/09/28 - Added a search page which customizes the Google search engine for this Website.

2001/09/17 - Revised four site data pages for carillons based on information received via e-mail (list IX010917.HTM removed to archive in 2007).

2001/09/04 - Revised 10 pages to fix incorrect internal links.

2001/08/05 - Revised 14 site data pages for traditional carillons based on information received by e-mail (list IX010805.HTM removed to archive in 2007).  Some of these were further enhanced with information gleaned from the World Wide Web. Note particularly the enlargement at Rumson.

2001/07/11 - Revised ten site data pages for traditional carillons based on information gathered at the GCNA Congress in June (list IX010711.HTM removed to archive in 2007).

2001/07/10 - Revised all site data pages for single-phase traditional carillons in North America to include identification of the foundry which provided the bells for each instrument, and revised all bellfoundry indexes accordingly.  Added a new index for such instruments and revised the list of indexes for North American traditional carillons to reference it.

2001/07/08 - Revised all site data pages in Mexico, Central and South America to include identification of the foundry which provided the bells for each instrument.  Added a set of four indexes by bellfoundry for Central and South America (complete) and a similar set of four indexes for North America (initially containing only sites in Mexico).  The pages in the second set can most easily be reached from the revised site data top page and its references to subordinate indexes. Added 12 bellfoundry indexes, linked from the site data top page, initially listing the same sites from a different perspective.  Linked all revised site data pages to the appropriate regional and general bellfoundry indexes.
(NOTE: The reason for the choice of geographic area is that all instruments within this section of the database are "complete", i.e., products of a single bellfoundry.)

Split 1999 news into the separate file referenced below, to save space here.

2001/07/01 - Added new file CSA_no_more.html, which for the moment is a placeholder for future information.  Added new summary of traditional carillons in Central and South America by country. Repaired several incorrect or missing links, targets and index entries.

2001/06/30 - Revised two site data pages which should have been done on 02/26 (list IX010226.HTM removed to archive in 2007).

2001/06/28 - Changed almost all pages (514, if you must know!) to reflect new email address (i.e., eddress) for the Assistant Webmaster (from "csz@intecnet.net" to "csz_stl@swbell.net").  Revision dates were not changed.

2001/05/07 - Revised the list of sites that are no more to list the second ring installed in North America.
