I wonder of anyone could help - the Wordsworth Trust is based at Dove
Cottage in Grasmere, and has a substantial archive. They are a
Designated Museum, and will be receiving funding for a new building.
Thanks in hope / anticipation

Subject: predicting outcomes from digital projects!
I have to try to predict the effect of putting a database of our
collection on the web will have on actual researchers coming to our
library! (Answer that one!!!!). It is to do with our new library - how
do we predict the number of reading room places to create to accommodate
increased research interest in our collections once the Designation
project is up and running?
My (difficult) question for you is: Are you aware of any project which
has widened awareness of a collection's holdings, which has in turn
increased the numbers of users of the reading room?
Jeff
