We've done a lot of good work already, and it doesn't take a lot of people or time to get good content. This time, I'd like to see if we can do more with the content we produce, so The_ed17 is organizing a little taskforce on-wiki for the editors who can't make it to help with adding images to articles, categorizing, and so on: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:The_ed17/NARA>.

It'll be a few days before we really get a lot of images uploaded, though, especially since we are dealing with large files.

 

When I was there last time, I found I could not be of much use. There was nobody to explain how to use the machines that NARA provided, and it seems that only people who had their own scanners (which I didn't) could do much. I helped one person hold the items he scanned, but that was not much of a contribution. So for me, I think these trips are not very useful.
