The English part of the National Monuments Record contains about 10 million items (mostly photos I think). Wales and Scotland ad few million more. That includes a fairly complete public domain aerial survey of the UK from the 1940s. We do not have the capacity to support digitalization on that scale. -- geni ---- Are you talking about our capacity or their capacity? The Library of Congress has 14 million items and has been digitizing since 1994. It's an ongoing process; they've developed excellent protocols. http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/about/techIn.html -Durova -- http://durova.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
