It would seem that Brian Timms is no longer running his website at www.briantimms.fr
Many of us have made great use of all his hard work on heraldry. He started in 2001 with the civic heraldry of France, added heraldic pub signs, cigarette cards and postage stamps, and then spent years on the most popular part, listing and illustrating thirteenth and early fourteenth century rolls of arms. I am particularly grateful for his work on the Vermandois and Wijnbergen Rolls, which could not easily be found elsewhere. Those of us who bought his CD have a treasure trove of information. The only consolation for us all is that the Internet Archive Wayback Machine has saved much, but unfortunately not all, at https://web.archive.org/web/20160309163454/http://briantimms.fr/contents.html
To Brian, very many thanks for everything!
