They are so beautifully reproduced too for the web; works of art in the different handwriting styles and type fonts used over the years.

The front page is well designed too - easy to navigate.

What would be interesting would be somewhere central where short comments and observations could gather that signifies new interpretations of previously informed information... although of course I imagine that will inevitably happen on the forum here.

There are going to be lots and lots of people independently interrogating small parts of the archive and making such discoveries?


Well done all!

JonE,

there is a feedback form here: http://archive.a7ca.org/feedback/

There are plans to enable comments on the next tranche of scans - photos.

Now that these are available publicly there will be many eyes and minds pouring over the information, drawing out interesting connections - please do share these so they can be posted.

Collaboration, discovery and discussion/debate is much easier and wide reaching in this form when compared to more conventional methods.

Re: Digital Archive on-line!!

We are so very fortunate to have such a wealth of information, readily available and all thanks to the hard work put in by the archive boys.

Fantastic!

Yes, the comments sections on individual scans is ideal as it can be policed but can allow discussion to develop as it happens. The feedback form isn't so immediately interactive, and whilst I see it is very useful, it won't engage people in the same way.

Could not the comments options be added to the ones already up, if its a matter of just flicking a button? It would be a pity if that real time discussion started to happen on here because it can't happen on there, right next to the material!

Re: Digital Archive on-line!!

Agreed - let us look into it as an addition and come back to you.

Re: Digital Archive on-line!!

Well done to all involved, you have done a fantastic job, and you need to be congratulated. S&P
