Published on Leave a comment on New blog from the Digitisation Service

Project Photographer John Sikorski attends to the process of setting a Lyell Notebook into the digitisation camera.

Its taking teams of multi-skilled people to open up the Charles Lyell collection! Read all about the Cultural Heritage Digitisation Service Team's efforts to digitise the Notebooks on their latest blog here:

From Castles to Cradle: Photographing the Lyell Notebooks | Digital Imaging Unit (ed.ac.uk)

Its a long road ahead, but already 87 of the Notebooks are now completed and online. The images are being added to the University of Edinburgh's Image website, LUNA, and you can find them here:

Search Results: All Fields similar to 'Coll-203' and Who equal to 'Lyell, Charles (Sir)' - University of Edinburgh

Thanks to all the CHDS staff - keep going!
