As Bev says, they can always use more transcribers. You don’t have to sign on forever, but a couple of hours a week, for example, can only help.

Thanks Lesley
The more help we have the quicker information will become available, all help is much appreciated. We are particularly short of volunteers prepared to proof read transcriptions that have been done.
