Albion history lives on forever
Plans for a ground-breaking online archive which will provide supporters with a comprehensive history of Albion have been unveiled.
The 'Albion Archive' will take the form of an interactive library, incorporating articles, images, videos and more from the Baggies past and present.
Work on the project is set to begin in the summer, with fans being encouraged to do what they can to help.
A club spokesman said: "The process and concept is simple. This is about a unique, long term commitment to our club, our players, our supporters.
"Over time, we will interview players, officials, supporters and host the results on a public access website that can expand to include written articles, references, images, along with a video and audio archive, building a complete picture of the Albion.
"Online, in print, in vision, in sound, and available to anybody in the world at any time of the day or night, this will be a comprehensive Albion education for those who weren't privileged enough to see it happen, yet know it did.
"And the preservation of our days, the here and now, for those yet to come who will be following this club, our club, 50, 100 years from now.
"Over the coming weeks, we will be issuing regular updates on just how this will take shape, what it will look like and just what you can all do to help. It's going to be the ride of our lives, their lives and those future lives.
"For the first time ever, the opportunity exists to make this happen.
"Nobody else is doing it so once again, our club will be at the forefront, breaking the mould."
The archive was one of several ideas put forward by fans advisory group the Albion Assembly.
Hannah Weaver, vice-chair of the Assembly, said: "The Albion Assembly is delighted to hear the plans for the Albion Archive are beginning to take shape.
"This is a very exciting and important venture and one which the Assembly has been passionate about.
"We are determined that the history of this great club of ours will not be forgotten, and, with the advances in modern technology, this venture will bring the heritage of this club to the fore, while ensuring that, as we make more history with each passing day, that too is preserved for the future."
