I think it would be worthwhile you asking whoever has the masters and
copyright about their digitization plans!  There is a lot of money
sloshing about right now for digitization, and for archives (rather than
libraries or museums), the participation of 'users' in project design
and implementation seems to be highly valued ... The searching
aids/indexes, for example, could come under Access to Archives phase 2
(A2B) ... www.a2a.pro.gov.uk.

We here are a 'user group' who could constitute a 'user group' under the
terms of lottery funding.

Best wishes to all,

Pat
