Do any of the user group know when the minutes from the last U.G. meeting will be uploaded to S.P?

Not being in the user group, I thought I would have a nosey anyway! :)

Out of curiosity, can I ask what the blue paper issue is with the 1851 census that is mentioned, that has led to poor images on SP for this census?

Thanks

Chris :)

Blue ink on blue paper which led to microfilms that don't digitise at all well.

Sounds like someone from my neck of the woods must have been responsible for that one...! A classic...! :)

Cheers

Dark/mid blue on light blue :!:

Mostly reasonable on the microfilm, but GROS decided not to issue around 20,000 images on SP.

I'm quite interested in the National Burial Index that is mentioned. Will this be on sale to the public, or used primarily as an 'in house' resource at archive centres?

Cheers,

This is a Scottish Association of FHSs project, - there should be a first CD this month from SAFHS.

Other areas such as Fife, N Lanarkshire and Argyll have already published some material, - check with the FHSs covering those areas, - see the Societies tab here for contact details.
