A group of volunteers, including Charles Matthews, has just finished digitising the Victorian-era Dictionary of National Biography<http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Dictionary_of_National_Biography…00>. 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<http://blog.wikimedia.org.uk/2013/02/victorian-era-dictionary-of-national-biography-digitised-on-wikisource/> .
