Additionally, we have several other projects in an earlier stage of development. These projects would also greatly benefit from volunteers, so please consider signing up to help.
We are also interested in forming content access partnerships with museums, libraries and other such organisations. We would be extremely grateful if you would ask your local museum or library how we could help them release copies or photographs of their most important items under a free license and we will do our best to satisfy their requests. Please contact Tom Holden for more details, and to let us know how you get on with any approach - even if unsuccessful.
If there is something else you think we should be doing, first check if it has already been proposed here and if not feel free to suggest it here.
