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 Biographyhttp://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Dictionary_of_National_Biography,_1885-1900. 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 herehttp://blog.wikimedia.org.uk/2013/02/victorian-era-dictionary-of-national-biography-digitised-on-wikisource/ .

Thanks and regards,

Stevie
