Hey all. I posted a while back about creating an archive of city documents. I've started adding in some historical materials, which might interest some of you. I've only finished about 10 different years, but I have a bunch more scanned and ready to be sorted.

Below is one from the sinking of the SS Victoria in 1881:

It'll be years until I'm done because of how much microform there is to go through. There are multiple thousands of pages to be scanned (almost 200 years of stuff!), and it all needs to be done by hand. Still thought I'd throw this out there, even if I'm in the early stages.

You can access the meetings from here:

(and yes, I do realize that some of the meetings are washed out/over exposed. I'll redo them eventually)
