Created in 1998, Nostalgia Central was originally housed at a
free Geocities URL (with the catchy address www.geocities.com/SoHo/Atrium/3451)
the site was attracting over 2,000 hits a week within 6 months.
At the time there wasn't much quality nostalgic content on
the Internet and the site soon grew much larger than we had ever
envisaged.
This ultimately drove a move to a dedicated server in
December 1999, and the site was re-launched as
nostalgiacentral.com on January 1st, 2000. By 2001 Nostalgia
Central housed close to 200MB of pages, graphics and sound files
and was attracting a million hits per month - so much for the
hobby!
In order to fulfil our dream of ensuring Nostalgia Central
was a definitive "one-stop shop" we closed the site in
2001 and undertook an exhaustive (and exhausting) makeover.
Early in 2003 significant technology infrastructure upgrades
took place, and as a result, Nostalgia Central now houses over 2
Gigabytes of information and receives over 1.5 million visits
each month from people in the USA, UK, Europe, Australia, New
Zealand, South America and Asia.
In January 2007 the 1950s came to Nostalgia Central - a much
requested inclusion - providing a far richer experience and
greatly enhanced content which would have been beyond our
wildest dreams back in 1998.
Nostalgia Central has always received a great deal of
support, particularly from the Academic and Media communities
who use the site as a research and reference tool, and from
individuals who cherish the memories of the greatest decades of
the 20th Century and enjoy the site as pure nostalgic
entertainment.
