I was particularly glad to come across https://www.photolondon.org.uk/ today, because its information on old London photographers is very useful in researching images. I was wondering where it had got to. There is more at https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2826398369?profile=orig… and an Internet Archive page at https://archive.ph/JpEF3 Does anyone have contacts with the Museum of London or the original compilers? The individual photographer biographies now have IDs and Wikidata ought to be able to make use of those. The underlying research is important, and is there a way we can support that? Charles
