Sarah,
It might be worth giving some thought to the form of your transcription
and its associated metadata, as well as to the "shiny" AV interactive
side of things. If done well, this can mean that your transcribed
letters become a valuable long-term asset, rather than something which
is "locked into" this year's interactive. Also, if you include metadata
such as time, place, subject keywords and personal identity (ideally all
expressed in a Linked Data-friendly form), the potential for creative
engagement and collaboration with other WWI providers is considerably
enhanced, compared with what you can get from a simple word search facility.
Best wishes,
Richard

We are getting the letters digitised and transcribed and we would like visitors to be able to search the letters for key-words and interact with them in a creative/exciting way.
