Hi Chris The opening paragraphs of the article may be a bit misleading, but the rest of it makes it clear that the project has a long way to go. However, the NLJ's intention to combine the results of "web-archiving" (gleaning appropriate material from the Internet) with the digitisation of its own historical materials makes it an exciting prospect. Moreover, the NLJ is inviting our input into the project's development. For example: "Jamaica Unshackled is the first digital collection developed by the National Library of Jamaica; other digital collections are forthcoming. We would appreciate your feedback and suggestions for digital collections and invite you to contact us at nljresearch@cwjamaica.com <mailto:nljresearch@cwjamaica.com>." <http://www.nlj.gov.jm/index.php?q=digitalcollections/jamaica-unshackled> Peter Moll Tortola, BVI CM Codrington wrote: > Hi Dorothy and all > > I don't know if anyone has tested the NLJ site but in a brief test of the > "estate maps" database presumably on line it is clear the digitization > project is far from complete. > > And does not come close to containing the huge collection of maps and > surveys in their collection.
