About TD-2

TD-2.org is a wiki on telecommunications infrastructure and history, maintained by J. B. Crawford. The goal is to build a website along the lines of Albert La France's invaluable resource, but with multiple contributors and a plan for sustainability into the future. I am also aiming for a more convenient navigation experience, by using geotags and interlinking.

The scope of this website is civilian and military telecommunications in North America, and specifically the infrastructure used prior to the widespread adoption of fiber around 1990. While there is a heavy emphasis on the Bell System and AT&T long lines, that is not intended to be exclusive.

I've finished migrating most of the photos, maps, and other information from my old personal website to this website, and I've added photos of just about every site that I have personally photographed. I am working on setting up some pages as “golden examples” of how I hope the whole wiki will eventually be, like Cheyenne Mountain Complex.

I welcome anyone who is interested in helping out. See Contributor's Guide. To manage abuse and the complexities of the open internet, you'll need to request an account in order to contribute. Please reach out to info@td-2.org and ask!
