Anthea Don't get your hopes up though, rumour has it that an awful lot of it is in very poor condition and almost unreadable. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Looby

I also heard recently that the condition may not be as bad as first thought, but a bigger concern was that with the sheer amount of paper. Apparently it consists of the individual pages completed by the housholder, not the transcribed pages we have been used to, and that the work to scan and index it in a uniform manner may prove to be a challenge.
