Thanks Richard and Deryck, If someone can do it and tell me I can let Lambeth know. I got soooooo 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.
