This personal site, a homage to Hector Berlioz, was created by Michel Austin and Monir Tayeb on 18 July 1997 as a one-page site; it subsequently grew to its current multi-page multi-section state. It is devoted exclusively to Berlioz, managed and funded by us, and completely independent of any sponsorship or institution. We are grateful to our friends and visitors from around the world for their constant encouragement and support.
The document below charts the development of the site since its creation. The list also includes contributions by our friends and visitors.
