Subject: [heraldnegindex] Volumes in transcription - update please
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 it’s in two parts).
However I’d 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
haven’t yet been in front of Tony’s 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 haven’t 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 I’ve 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 I’m
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
