[Commons-l] I want to donate the content of a rare photography book to Wikimedia.

[John Tex]

Dear Adam,

You don't mention where you live.  I am guessing near Glasgow from the
material you mention, but that is just a guess.  Your location might be
important in finding someone who can help you scan/photograph the materials
without having to ship them.

Best,
John
