Threedecks started out as a one-man project to provide the data we had stored on the original 3decks site into a more accessible form. It has since expanded to be a multi-editor site with people from all over the world contributing.
Of course there are numerous people to whom we owe a debt of gratitude for their unending assistance and time helping with our research. This list however is just of those who contribute directly.
This page gives some details of the people behind the data you see. There are others, but they prefer to keep their light under a bushel. They are however no less important to the project.
If you want to help us in our endeavours, email me with your details, your areas of interest and how you think you can best contribute and you could be added to this list.
