Thanks Richard and Deryck,

If someone can do it and tell me I can let Lambeth know.
I got soooooo close with them releasing a first tranche of archive but in the end we could not supply any volunteers to get the project going. I would like to show we can do this so I can go back to the archives and try again. They have one of the best in London and I get on well with them chief archivist for whom I have a lot of respect plus being a councillor I can encourage the opinion formers.
Could someone/anyone let me know when it is done so I can report back?

Best to all of you.

Thanks

Hello Lucy and all,

Ideally we want a Commons volunteer with both OTRS and batch upload
privileges (which I'm neither). But if none of those boffins are available,
I'm happy to volunteer to do the uploading and liaise with OTRS on the
councillors' behalf.
