There are so many great pictures that get lost in the massive Historic Halifax thread and other development threads that trying to track down where you've seen something can be a pain.

Sounds like a good idea, but would be up to the mods to create. I would have no problem posting historical stuff in the appropriate sub-forum if it were set up like that. However, there will still be times when it seems best to post old pics in a particular development thread to illustrate some point, I think.
Another way would be to just create individual threads in an existing subforum, like
Urban, Urban Design & Heritage Issues. There are already some there, but they are not organized in any particular fashion, just discussed as subjects come up.
I've never really looked at these as creating some sort of searchable archive, but only a means to discuss old buildings or streetscapes that might interest me from time to time. Sometimes a discussion ensues, sometimes it ends with my one post. It's fine either way as good discussion should flow somewhat organically, IMHO. I do find the search function on this forum to be pretty good, though.
