  • Transcribing contemporary press accounts-a question

    First-if this is in the wrong place, please excuse me.

    What is the protocol for submitting and adding to the transcribed press accounts on the Press Reports page? Living here in Pasadena, Ca we have an excellent library and they have there access to the Pasadena, Los Angeles and other local papers(in 1888 Pasadena, incidentally was an even more established community than Los Angeles, smaller though it is/was).

    Personally as a hobby I enjoy wandering through the microfiched newspapers, both as regards specific events I'm interested in and random dates to get a flavor of the times.
    If no one else is already on it and if(of course) there happens to be original, non-wire service accounts of the Ripper murders and investigation, who would I offer it to for consideration for uploading?

    I find this kind of research faascinating and would love to contribute to the general knowledge however I can. And while I'm on the subject, I so appreciate the work of those who are doing it now and have done it in the past. It's terrific.

    I think this would be an excellent use of the wiki section of this website. In fact I wonder if the press section could be merged with and/or migrated to the wiki section in the same way that the witnesses section has been.
