Hello everyone, <div><br></div><div>I write to let you know about a really interesting project on Wikisource. A group of volunteers, including Charles Matthews, has just finished digitising the Victorian-era <a href="http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Dictionary_of_National_Biography,_1885-1900">Dictionary of National Biography</a>. The project is the result of the efforts of over 30 volunteers since 2008 and has led to over 30,000 articles being added to Wikisource. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Charles has put together a <a href="http://blog.wikimedia.org.uk/2013/02/victorian-era-dictionary-of-national-biography-digitised-on-wikisource/">blog post about the project which can be seen here</a>.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks and regards,</div><div><br>Stevie<br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><pre cols="72">Stevie Benton
