Dear list,
Here at the British Red Cross Museum and Archive, we are currently in the planning stages of a project to make part of our collection of index cards available to researchers online.
Scanning has now been completed and we have over 244,000 images we'd like to make available. As the British Red Cross website has been recently upgraded, we now have the capability to host these records via our website ourselves and are considering this as an option for hosting the records online.
We would be keen to hear from colleagues in other repositories who have launched a similar resource via their institution's website without going through an external contractor and are willing to share their experiences.
Hints, tips and experiences will be gratefully received!
Thanks,
Susan
