About the Project
On Wednesday 18th May 2016, Mike, Alan and myself attended a meeting at the YAS Family History Section. In response to a request, we discussed a joint venture to digitise and transcribe their collection of Monumental Inscriptions held in their archives.

There are a total of 15 Archive boxes containing Memorial Inscriptions from various sources which were due to be placed in long term storage.
In a joint project the 35,000 documents were scanned and the transcription and indexing of the records commenced.
This is a fascinating project and I am proud to be on the team.
