At the moment the biggest area we haven't managed to get into at all is crown copyright expired UK gov video. The postwar collection appears to be held by the national archives: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/films/1945to1951/filmindex.htm But I'm not sure who got the old Ministry of Information stuff. Have a bad feeling it might be the IWM. The other thing we haven't really looked into is the various wrecks off the British coast. Things like HMS A1. A lot of this stuff is restricted under the Protection of Wrecks Act 1973 but there are groups who get permission to dive the things and it would be nice to make contact. -- geni _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
