And yes, of course, credit where it's due: the EFDSS has done really well to get the 'Take 6' and Cecil Sharp diaries online, but what's the plan/timescale with the rest once the catalogue has eventually been published?

The library catalogue project has been a joint effort between existing library staff and a few volunteers. That's where the real praise should be directed. Being out of the loop these days I would have to guess that further digitisation on the scale of Take 6 will depend on further funding. In my experience, EFDSS is always asking but the answer isn't always 'yes'.

The Arts Council Funding came with its hat and coat already on in terms of what it could be spent on, and if I remember correctly from the magazine quoted above, digitising wasn't on the list. Is it likely to be a priority when the Arts Council look round to see what they will fund with their sadly depleted allocation of funds? Answers on a post card please to.....   maybe not.
