[Anthony]

Actually, let us just see whether anybody steps forward and offers to
do this. Jon has done his part.

You don't seem to be getting many takers - perhaps it would be more
effective for a volunteer to show (or remind) Jon how to do this
himself?

45 could be easily done on the standard upload; it could also be done using
Pattypan, if there's a good deal of metadata to input.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Wikimediauk-l Digest, Vol 182, Issue 2

[Jon Davies]

Thanks Richard and Deryck,

If someone can do it and tell me I can let Lambeth know.
I got soo close with them releasing a first tranche of archive but in
the end we could not supply any volunteers to get the project going. I
would like to show we can do this so I can go back to the archives and try
again. They have one of the best in London and I get on well with them
chief archivist for whom I have a lot of respect plus being a councillor I
can encourage the opinion formers.
Could someone/anyone let me know when it is done so I can report back?

Best to all of you.

Thanks
