Hi Edward, There is not currently a coordinator for Sutherland, but I am hoping to recruit one. The "way to go about it" if interested is to contact me and I will provide more details to help you make a decision. Overall I have found that there is a great deal of enthusiasm out there for the project. So far none of my organizers have reported any problems finding volunteers - in fact two of the projects have already assigned out all their parishes for transcription.
