ISDCI Photo Gallery

Over the summer, a photo –gallery of the Society will be set up on the members page. It will start with group photographs of past international meetings and a selection of pictures from the 9th Congress. If you have any favourite pictures of ISDCI meetings or colleagues, amusing or not (nothing embarrassing to anyone, please) that you would like to contribute, please send pictures to myself (vjs1@st-andrews.ac.uk) by e-mail. Electronic images MUST be in JPEG format. Please do not send more than 3 pictures in any one message. The system can’t take it! We will select suitable pictures for display. It would also be helpful if you would indicate in a caption the year (and place) where your picture was taken and who is featured in the photograph. Thanks.
