We have plenty of space 1500MB and more bandwidth that we'll need. Can we get the back issues in PDF format or I can make PDF's for the issues that were done in MS-Publisher.
Older caver's I'd put in a public area where anyone can get to them. We can set an aging limit to what's public; six months, a year? The ANL is certainly public. We can have a members area (if you're not in a hurry). It would require so PHP programming that I can do. The problem could be a database for it. If we have the BBS/Forum, it runs off a database and has a user table. The Store also has a registration area and is on a separate database. Unless I write some special interface, there's the opportunity to have even a 3rd database and user registration table.
