Oh yes - Wikisource has stuff to load and the museum have offered 10,000 pictures for commons.

This is a "Quid pro quo" deal

Mike's stuff looks interesting. I also searched ODNB for "Monmouth" and found so many with some tenuous connection to Monmouth under "B" that I stopped looking. Lots of people went to school in Monmouth as there are two posh schools there who trained "people for the empire" 100 years ago and quite a few notables.

Is there a link here with Wikisource? Do they have digitized documents that could be hosted there? Or is there scope for a crowdsourced digitisation project here?

I've done a quick scout around Wikisource and archive.org to see what's there, but there isn't too much:

Mostly focused on Geoffrey of Monmouth. There's a book related to the [[Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers]] available on archive, which Richard might be interested in.

Thanks,
Mike
