After the ‘Great TORn Crash’ of a few weeks ago, many of the TORn staff were extremely worried about the possibility of having lost 18,000+ images and photos that comprise our Scrapbook section. After all, this area contains nearly 10 years of Tolkien fandom history represented in visual form. (Just think of all those fan events and Ringer submitted photos!!!) Thankfully, through the hard work of Arathorn and Corvar, the Scrapbook was completely recovered and is now revitalized in our brand new design. When you are bored at work today, take a moment to browse Tolkien history. [TORn’s Scrapbook]
