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.

We are pleased to announce a very fruitful outcome for both groups. We have already commenced digitising the records in this exciting joint venture. The collection includes:

See the YAS Blog written by their President Gill Cookson for further details. As usual we will be looking for volunteers, who may have an interest in one of the listed places, to assist.

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.
