any plans to try and digitise old Forest of Dean newspapers

Not that I aware off - besides the time required and the space to store the images - the biggest personal challenge is that these old papers are often broadsheet i.e. very large, so using a domestic A4 scanner gets very complex, I have not had too much success using a camera and tripod as the text is often very small...however I have submitted clippings / articles etc
