- I've started the transfer to Commons of all the DjVu files (see Commons:Category:Domesday Book scans); except Lincolnshire, which needs to be re-derived by the archive to create a DjVu file. As these files are in Latin, they belong on Latin Wikisource rather than here on English Wikisource (for example, la:Liber:Domesday Book Bedfordshire.djvu). - AdamBMorgan (talk) 23:38, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
UK Legislation )Statutes at large
It's noted that some volumes of an 18th Century 'Statutes at Large' are present on www.archive.org, These may contain material concering old statutes which is not present in the 'official' UK statute law database (legislation.gov.uk) on account of the acts concerned being repealed before 1991, Although legislation.gov.uk does have scans for a number of pre 20th century acts, these are scans only not text.
Would someone here be willing to consider starting a transcription project along the lines of the project that was started for US ones? Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:38, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
