Dear all,
Tony has just completed the scanning of 1972 and it is now available for
whoever wants to make a start on it (or two can share it as its in two
parts).
However Id just like to check where everybody is with the volumes you are
now working on:
I believe Karen and Christine are currently sharing 1971
Peter has 1968
Rosemary is on 1970
Tony has 1978
Patsy ?
Please can you check that list and confirm or correct as necessary.
The books have come through in a rather mixed order because of their
accessibility at the museum so I need to do an audit to see which volumes
havent yet been in front of Tonys camera yet.
Obviously with the better weather (!!!) everybody is getting outside more
and that has slowed things up a little. How ever I am not at all worried
about that so please make the best of this wonderful summer we are already
way ahead of where I ever thought we would get.
I havent scheduled another Zoom meeting at present but how does everybody
feel about meeting up for coffee (or tea) somewhere locally soon? Ideally
outside perhaps the golf club café in Farnham Park where there is free
parking and outside or inside tables to suit the weather.
Please let me have your thoughts.
Unfortunately the archive requests side that I deal with has slowed down
somewhat. This is because of changes at the Herald meaning Ive currently
got no assistance with retrieving the volumes from the cellar. Also the
museum is between assistant curators to help access the negative collection
but Im pleased to report that I now have the keys to the store so can go
along whenever I want. But just to top that we currently have builders in at
home so getting to either place is rather problematic at the moment. The
situation will improve very soon though.
There is a long list of requests and more coming in frequently so what you
are all achieving is still much in demand.
Please can you let have your thought about another meeting soon and confirm
the volumes you are currently working on.
Thanks,
Chris
