This is a directory of categorised links to external Internet resources that are relevant to Hackney Silver Surfers learning sessions, or which are used by our members. The links are not, and are not intended to be, comprehensive for each theme category, and the themes are not fixed.
All the links in the database are checked automatically once a week. These pages are refreshed daily (last update 6-Jul-2008). The total number of links now is 624.
