Hello All. ** Volunteers Wanted - Request For Assistance with 1874 Map of Surrey ** I have just uploaded a preview page for an 1874 Map of Surrey. It is a beautiful, hand coloured, highly detailed map. Take a look at the preview page here: Map Of The County Of Surrey From Trigonometrical Survey With The Roads, Parks & Railways, By Jas. Wyld, Geographer To The Queen. 1874. http://archivemaps.com/mapco/surrey1874/surrey1874.htm Preview Section: http://archivemaps.com/mapco/surrey1874/surrey1874preview.htm Following the success of previous transcription projects (see links at end of message) I have decided to include a Place Name Search Engine for this map. This will require the names and details recorded on the map to be fully transcribed, which is quite a large task. If there are any listers who can spare some time to assist with this transcription project it would be greatly appreciated! This will free my time to get on with the job of scanning and preparing the next maps for display. The success of this project will be dependant on the number of volunteers able to assist with transcription of place names from the map. There are about 30 individual sections of the map that require significant work to transcribe, and I would like one transcriber for each of these section. I estimate transcription will take 30-60 minutes on average. I will give full details to any volunteers in a separate email. Please send all replies to this request off list. Thanks. All offers of assistance will be greatly appreciated!! Thank you in advance. While I appreciate this particular subject isn't genealogy in the first instance, it benefits all of our research in the long run. I am still committed to displaying a high quality map of London for every decade from 1700 to 1930, and to continuing to display as many county maps (Middlesex, Essex, Surrey & Kent) as possible. Thank you all for your continuing support for the MAPCO project. It is, and shall remain, FREE! Kind regards, David Hale, Adelaide, South Australia.
