[edit] History
The site was launched in February 1998. Archive.org shows its first record of the site in December 12, 1998[1]. At the time the site was published in 6 languages (English, French, German, Indonesian, Spanish, Russian.) The site was redesigned and launched in October 22, 2008[2] enhancing the visual and technical aspects of the content and web site. The feature 'Perspective' and media galleries including both videos and photographs were part of this redesign. An enhanced search facility is now included.
