There is a website called timinvermont.com which hosted possibly the biggest collection of vintage gay erotica online. Hundreds of magazines and books were purchased, scanned in and uploaded - seemingly by one person - over 20 years. There is a list of all the magazines here (one listing I found was originally published in 1866), and the list for everything that was on the site is here.
It was a paid subscription service with a login which I’ve been told no longer works. It is reported in other forums that the owner has died and the site is now inaccessible.
It is a real shame that this persons life’s work and passion for buying and scanning all of this printed material has now completely gone from the internet. The waybackmachine has its first snapshot of this site back in 2003. Also it is likely some of these scans are the last traces of these historical works existing.
Not sure if this is the correct place to ask, but I was wondering if anyone can see if all this data still exists online and if it can be saved. I’d be happy to look in to downloading it all if so and potentially finding somewhere else for it to go. Grateful for any advice!
