Is there any sort of plan to import these in bulk to Commons? Seems
like the ideal thing for a bot to do...

Anyone able to help with this?
(Durova's been doing a lot of restoration work on Commons. There has
also been discussion on wikien-l about crediting restorers - there's
frequently no copyright obligation to credit restorers, but doing so
is (a) polite (b) more accurate sourcing (c) encourages more good
restorations on Commons. Ideas for workable restorer crediting
welcomed.)

Hi all,
Have been working on coaxing the return of a talented editor by the name
of
Shoemaker's Holiday--who is by far WMF's most skilled volunteer at
restoring
historic etchings. ?Turns out he's been working on an important project:
perhaps someone can help obtain source material.
The subject is Paul Revere's engraving of the Boston Massacre:
http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/ppmsca.19159
http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/ppmsca.01657
As you can see, both of the Library of Congress copies are missing
sections
of data due to damage. ?If we can obtain a high resolution scan from a
third
copy of this etching, it will become possible to assemble a composite of
the
complete engraving.
(For Wikimedians who aren't US-Based, the Boston Massacre was a key event
that preceded the American Revolution. ?Paul Revere's famous depiction
helped spread dissatisfaction with colonial rule).
What we're looking for are editors who to interface with historic
societies
or libraries that own an original copy of the engraving. ?Particularly
within Boston or Massachusetts, although copies probably exist across
various locations in the eastern United States. ?We're looking to obtain
an
uncompressed scan of the document on the order of 25MB-100MB. ?Source
credit
will be provided to the institution, of course, and the final work might
be
selected to run on Wikipedia's main page.
Please contact me if you can assist or provide contacts.
-Durova
