Thanks Andrew.
On your last point, and putting my work hat on, best bet would be to share
your collection on Europeana and make use of our infrastructure. Has anyone
ever thought about this, or talked to you? Very happy to make a connection
if you want. It would be so great to see and if the excellent structure of
your faceted search is anything to go by, and with direct access to
original media, doing the mapping and getting it into our metadata
structure should be relatively easy.
Cheers, James
