Funded by JISC, formerly the Joint Information Systems Committee of leading universities, which gave £42,545 and Huddersfield uni which paid £11,601, the site links every online document to the whereabouts of the original. Most are at the West Yorkshire Archive, but with substantial contributions from Huddersfield and Hull universities and the Brontë Society. Naturally, the organisers are interested in getting more.We would like to humbly wish them all the best. And we certainly recommend having a look around the site.
Katy Goodrum of West Yorkshire Archives Service says:
We certainly don't want to deprive people of the ability to see the originals, but the website means you don't have to travel from half way around the world to use the material. The main thing for me is a huge amount of it is in women's own words, which is quite rare.The notion of the website may be familiar to some researchers, because an earlier version was attempted in 2002 but worked only clunkily. It showed that demand was there, however, and the archives and Huddersfield made a persuasive case for a complete overhaul and reboot. (Martin Wainwright)
