Monmouth Museum have offered 10,000 digital images; 7,000 local historical and Charles Rolls and 3,000 about Admiral Nelson, a lot are previously unseen; ships logs (useful to climate scientists) and personal diaries.
I will talk to Mike Booth from the Shire Hall about what he has digitised, I know he has some stuff about the chartists especially about their trial.
The Archaeological Society are very keen but have very little time, I know they want to put their journals on Wikisource, they may have other things too.
Very glad to have you all involved, you're very welcome to make bold changes to the MonmouthpediA pages.
All the best
John

Is there a link here with Wikisource? Do they have digitized documents that could be hosted there? Or is there scope for a crowdsourced digitisation project here?
I've done a quick scout around Wikisource and archive.org to see what's there, but there isn't too much:

Mostly focused on Geoffrey of Monmouth. There's a book related to the [[Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers]] available on archive, which Richard might be interested in.
Thanks,
Mike
