2. CALIFORNIA MISSIONS RESOURCE CENTER WEBSITE
CMSA member David McLaughlin urges other members to visit the web site
www.missionscalifornia.com
<http://www.missionscalifornia.com> . David writes, "We
have some unique features that I have not seen elsewhere ˆ the 19th
century drawings in our Gallery section, the California Mission Time
Line online etc. In addition our Visual Journeys of each mission (4-5
minutes in a sophisticated Flash format that gives a movie like
effect) are more extensive and informative than most."
