Hi Folks, I just signed up here to let you all know I have an original 1917-ish New Gresham Dictionary. It's a bit tired but mostly all there. I'm not trying to sell it, but asking of you what should I do to preserve its contents? I just figure it's kind of neat, full of all sorts of OE anachronysms and some Latin which no-one these days ever learns. It'd be a shame to lose this one, I think. What to do? Quid rides? Chris

Hi Chris The most useful and altrusic thing that you could do with it is to scan it and put the whole thing on a free website.....not only would this preserve it but also make the contents freely available to everyone. I must admit that I treasure the dictionary I had at school - a 1948 edition for much the same reasons. It is amazing how many words that you find in that are no longer in current use, or have different meanings nowadays.
