UPDATES — (Previous updates are on the the “About” page.) When a state or federal agency changes the URL/web address for a site, seldom is there a redirect from the previous URL. When we discover it, we attempt to find the new URL and update it on MH3WV, or we go to Archive.org’s “Wayback Machine” to find a previous version of the site to which we link.
