Subject: Query about big project archive
Hello,
We're currently starting a volunteer project to record figurative
carvings in churches in Leicestershire ('Project Gargoyle' was catchier
than 'Project Figurative Carvings'!).
http://www.leics.gov.uk/gargoyle
Although we're going to try and incorporate the archive into the HER,
questions have been raised about whether we should also deposit the data
(in the form of digital images and an accompanying spreadsheet)
somewhere else. The ADS and NMR were mentioned. In the longer term the
project may spread into neighouring counties - the guy doing it (Bob
Trubshaw) is very keen. If it does spread it would definitely be good
to have the entire archive in one place as well as in separate county
HERs (if other HERs want the stuff). I wondered how people normally
dealt with big projects like this...
Thanks,
Helen Wells
