Good and bad news for the project! First the really good news, which is that the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has approved funding for year 2 of the project (the project is funded on a yearly basis). Also good news, is that we have now completed the rather complex task of scanning all of the 1200 letters to and from Wallace which the NHM has in its collection. We would like to say a big thank-you to Steve Cafferty (NHM),
An excellent article about the Wallace Correspondence Project has just been published on the BBC Wales website - see http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-13009952
Since my first post in mid November 2010 we have done a huge amount of work on the project and have been too busy to write anything for this blog! Here is a brief summary of the most important things we have achieved in the last 3.5 months:-
I am very pleased to christen the Wallace Correspondence Project's (WCP) News blog with this post. The purpose of this blog is to keep visitors to this site up-to-date with the progress of the project and to report interesting information we happen to discover about Wallace as we work on his correspondence. We will be reading and summarising letters as we obtain scans of them and since much of this correspondence has never been studied by historians in any detail, we are bound to uncover some interesting and hitherto unknown things about the life and work of the great man.
