I found the following story on the BBC News website relating to the NOF digitisation projects: http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/uk/newsid_1919000/1919330.stm
The first couple of paragraphs begin with "Buried in dark vaults, cellars, and musty store rooms all over the UK are thousands, perhaps millions of historical and cultural gems."
"Ancient documents and books, archaeological records and finds, old photographs and drawings; all of them consigned to years in storage because there simply isn't anywhere to show them to the public."
Ah well, better get back to my musty storeroom/state of the art repository (delete as applicable) and do some scanning...
