Log 17 Dec 2004 - Site created.

19 Feb 2005 - City names and highways removed from sample maps; central region maps added; northwestern and northeastern regional maps extended .

27 Feb 2005 - Began effort to include BFRO reports prior to 1990.

12 Jun 2005 - Substantially completed mapping the pre-1990 BFRO reports.

16 Jun 2005 - Completed hyperlinks to BFRO reports. (Hyperlink capability was not included in Topo USA when this project commenced, so a significant portion of post 1990 reports did not originally include hyperlinks to the source web site.)

20 Jun 2005 - Over 99% of BFRO reports mapped. Reorganized reports by type (creature sighting, track/sign, audible). Recompiled regional sample maps for this web site to include only BFRO reports of creature sightings. While the map data files include reports of tracks and audible encounters and sighting reports from other organizations, these have been left out of the regional maps to minimize clutter at the scale displayed.

21 Jun 2005 - Enhanced regional sample map selection to improve coverage.

25 Jun 2005 - Added links to a sample detailed maps.

04 Jul 2005 - Added all reports for Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society.

08 Jul 2005 - Added all reports for Eastern Ohio Bigfoot Information Center.

10 Jul 2005 - Added all reports for Texas Bigfoot Research Center**.

24 Jul 2005 - Added all reports for Virginia Bigfoot Research Organization.

12 Feb 2006 - Added all reports for Sasquatch Research Initiative.

20 Feb 2006 - Added .kmz formatted file for viewing with Google Earth® .

. 26 Mar 2006 - Google Earth version enhanced to improve display clarity.

16 Jul 2006 - Completed addition of reports for the International Bigfoot Society. * Data currently include IBS reports with credibility rating of 1, 2, or 3 for all US and Canadian states and provinces.

Note: The International Bigfoot Society web site was taken down in March of 2009. This means that all the links I have included to IBS reports are permanently broken. Also it appears that none of the individual IBS report pages have been archived on the Internet Archive Wayback Machine , so I am unable to re-link to them there as I did with the older TBRC reports. Fortunately the Wayback Machine has archived the state & province report indexes from the IBS site. This means that there is still a brief summary of each report available in the relevant state index. Unfortunately you will have to manually search through the state listings to find any information regarding the IBS reports I have mapped here.

17 Jul 2006 - Overview and sample maps updated with most recent data using DeLorme Topo USA 6. State sample maps added.

06 Nov 2006 - Added Michigan sample maps.

18 Nov 2006 - Strengthened disclaimer on approximate nature of report locations.

26 Jan 2007 - Added Google Earth overview image

18 Mar 2007 - Added valid timestamp tags for use with Google Earth 4 Timeline capability.

27 Feb 2008 - Added Ontario Sasquatch Research reports.

14 May 2008 - ** Revised links for older TBRC reports. The TBRC totally redesigned their web site earlier this year which broke the links for all reports mapped from the original web site. So those URLs have now been revised to link to archived web pages stored by The Wayback Machine. [6] Organization name changed to North American Wood Ape Conservancy in April 2013.

01 Feb 2009 - Added Google Earth Plugin viewing capablity.

11 Aug 2010 - The International Bigfoot Society web site was taken down in March of 2009. See note above under 16 Jul 2006.

12 Mar 2010 - Completed mapping Tirademan's historical newspaper archive reports. These older reports illustrate how this phenomenon can be traced back much earlier than many people realize. **** Unfortunately Tirademan's valuable newspaper clipping collection is no longer available online due to the dissolution of the old bigfootforums.com. Nor is an archive available on The Wayback Machine, due to crawler prohibition by the new bigfootforums.com at the same url.

16 Mar 2010 - *** Revised links for reports from the Western Canadian Sasquatch Research Organization and the Winnipeg River Sasquatch Research Association to point to archived pages of the Wayback Machine. The sites of both organizatons were taken down some time after they were mapped. Unfortunately archives are currently incomplete for both organizations' sites.

Also fixed (finally!) the WCRSO DeLorme TopoUSA draw files to correctly display report names (i.e., dates) instead of hyperlinks.

20 Mar 2010 - Revamped web page design.

Aug 2010 - Lots of good discussion regarding this project was lost due to disintegration of the old Bigfoot Forums. Unfortunately there are not even archival copies on the Wayback Machine site. General discussion thread. GoogleEarth thread. Feel free to post questions and comments on the new BFF.
