archives, saying - we'll scan your records for you if you release them 
to us copyright-free afterwards. Not sure if it's a runner at the

Well, yes. I think that 100,000 € is the basic investment (see IFLA 2009).

> Could you tell me more about the "transcription" tasks? Have we got access to any resources that are awaiting transcription?
