| Welcome to the Phu Lam Photo Web Site |
| First off, thanks to everyone who has taken the time to submit their photos. |
| If you have any photos to contribute or to upgrade/add to previously submitted pictures, |
| please get them scanned and submitted. We accept all Phu Lam related photos. |
| Report any problems like broken links, incorrect captions, people not identified or mis-identified. |
| To report a problem please include the name of the Phulamer who took the picture, the index number of |
| the photo and the two or three letter code that is in the upper right hand corner of the photo. |
| That code never changes and uniquely identifies each picture. |
| There are three main pages of links to the photos. |
| ----------- 1) PhuLamer (by Year) ----------- |
| This is most useful if you want to view photos taken during a particular time period (like your tour) |
| or to see how the facility changed over the years. Because it is sorted by the first year of the |
| PhuLamer's tour, you must also check the prior years for those |
| tours that extended into the year you are most interested in. |
| ----------- 2) PhuLamer (by Last Name) ----------- |
| This is an alphabetical list of those who contributed photos. You can quickly locate photos from |
| PhuLamers you remember. |
| In the two lists above, the links are divided into 3 groups: |
| (1) Phu Lam, (2) Affiliates and Other Units and (3) Present Day Photos. |
| Each PhuLamers' pictures are organized with highest quality, most interesting ones shown first. |
| Priority is given to those showing the facility rather than pictures of people. Lesser quality pictures, |
| duplicates of similar photos and closeups of people are next with documents at the very end. |
| Hint: If you are looking for a photo of someone, start at bottom of the last page. |
| Most of those type pictures will be there. |
| ----------- 3) Buildings/Areas ------------ |
| These photos were selected to best represent what Phu Lam looked like over the years and how it |
| changed. Only the most interesting pictures are include here. There are thousands of pictures |
| that were not used because of their lower quality or they duplicated what is seen in a better |
| photo. Although B&W pictures can look very nice, if available a color picture was selected instead. |
| Also included are links to General Interest photos with a common theme like Entertainment |
| (USO Shows), Pets & Animals, PhuLamers Goofing Around, Unusual Events and Camera Shy photos. |
| The Building/Area photos are sorted by the date they were taken. If you see two sets of dates, |
| the first one is the presumed date range the photo was probably taken and the second set is the |
| actual tour of the PhuLamer. Also added to the photo caption is the direction the photo was taken. |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| The rest of the links are lists that will help you find photos/information that might be of interest to you. |
| ----------- What's New ----------- |
| Check here to see what new pictures or information has been added since your last visit. |
| ----------- PhuLamers Identified by Name in a Photo ----------- |
| Looking for a picture of yourself or a friend? Other that scanning through all 9000+ photos |
| this is the best place for that. Note that this list is manually generated and subject to error and |
| will probably never be 100% accurate. |
| ----------- Phu Lam Photo Caption Data Base ----------- |
| This is a list of all the photo captions. Using your WEB Browsers' built in search feature (CTRL-F) or |
| (Command-F) on MAC, you can search for key words that lead to photos of interest to you. |
| You can use it to locate names of people but you should use the list above first. |
| You will get lots of false matches with this list. |
| The Affiliates and Other Units are grouped together at the bottom of the list. |
| They are sorted by where they were taken with the Affiliates listed first. |
| Use this part of the list to find pictures taken at a unit of interest to you. |
| Note: This is a large database and can take quite a while to load. |
| If you have a slow internet connection, contact us for suggestions |
| on how to speed things up on your system. |
| ----------- Phu Lam Roster ----------- |
| Unlike our main site (www.phulam.com) this is a single, complete list of every name we have |
| identified. This includes those who have checked in, names found on documents, those who have |
| passed away and Vietnamese nationals who worked at Phu Lam. |
| Also included are those non-PhuLamers who have contributed pictures of the facility. |
| ----------- Phu Lam Videos ----------- |
| You will find all the videos that are on YouTube here. |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| You can download a copy of a photo by right_clicking on it and selecting the |
| "Save Image as..." option. If that does not work, you can also use the 'print screen' key |
| on your keyboard then cropping the picture with any photo editor program. |
| The pictures are highly compressed, and although they look pretty good at the displayed |
| size it you try to enlarge or print them, the quality degrades quickly. |
| If you have a few favorite photos you would like high quality copies of, contact us |
| and we will email you the best quality we have. |
| If you are interested in a full set of the high quality photos, they are available on a |
| USB Flash/Thumb drive. You supply the USB drive and return postage. |
| The photo collection will no longer fit on a data disc. |
