Hello everyone, 

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 Dictionary of National Biography. 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. 

Charles has put together a blog post about the project which can be seen here.

Thanks and regards,

Stevie
