Theo Paijmans made a perfectly valid comment on yesterday's update to the Archiving Project. He wrote: 'There's just one problem I'm having though with the files: they seem not to be properly referenced.'
You are perfectly right, mate; some of them have no references at all. We do have reference codes for some of the postings, and those (if they haven't been published already) will be published soon. However, the CFZ archives have come from many different sources over the years including scrapbooks collated by children and OAPs (and everything in between), and - sadly - quite often the sources are missing.
We are in the process of indexing the whole thing (which reminds me; Karen, can you contact me?), but then must come a long trenche of detective work to try and isolate those elusive sources.
Volunteers for all stages of this laborious project will be welcomed with open arms.
