Since we first began in December, 2008, Karkee Web has far exceeded the aims we had for it. It has become the best resource on the web for 20th Century British accoutrements. Right from the first, it has been our contributors who have made this happen, and who will make it even better in future. Those who have provided images and/or documentation to date include primarily private collectors, but contributions have now come from museums, county archives, societies and dealers and have been most welcome.

One element of Karkee Web's design that has received quite a bit of comment is our use of cigarette card images for backgrounds and accents, especially where we've used them to denote Section indices. It's important to note that the actual cards we originally used came from the collection of J. Roy Dennis, Rog's father. We've added a quite a few others here and there, but the origin of one feature that has given this site its distinctive look rests on his shoulders.

There are other contributors who have provided images without knowing it: In a few places we've used pictures that have been gleaned from the web over the last several years, but for which the proper attributions have been lost. To each of you, apologies and thanks. If you find one of your pictures on our site, please contact the webmaster and we'll either remove it or give you proper credit, as you desire.

In addition to those listed above, a number of other people have assisted in the development of this site, both through comments and constructive criticism, and through their detailed knowledge of specific subjects. These include Steve Cobden, O.G. Palmer, Sean Ryan, and Ric Stubley (who is in fact listed above, but needs to be mentioned here as well). Special thanks go to Jim Kendall, who has been an editor, proofreader, and technical consultant in this effort.
