Hi all
I've been speaking to the UK Migrated Archives Working Group at UCL. They have been putting together a seminar series on the FCO Migrated Archives, and are planning to do a small WP editing event as part of it, getting some academics and students in to overhaul the content. This will be on 9th November - please do feel free to join in or leave suggestions here! (I work at UCL but in a different bit of the university - I've been helping them plan the event and work out what's appropriate for WP.)
The plan at the moment is that they're reviewing the article, will work offline on drafting some updates and then we will get them added in on the day and integrated into the existing content. The main issue is that page seems to have been mostly written circa 2012 before most of the files had been released to the public, and has not been updated much since then, so it misses recent research and the tone is heavily driven by the initial news reports. Their aim is to generally update it, plus bring in more background, research on the collections & their impact, and recent developments.
One thing that has come out of the initial review is that the article is chronologically a bit confusing and could do with restructuring - provisionally this is the suggested outline -
Thoughts appreciated! Andrew Gray ( talk) 15:12, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
This is a suggested to-do list for the event on Wednesday 9th.
• Other references to this collection elsewhere in WP may be based heavily on the early news reports – see if these may need to be updated.
Each section will need some check & cleanup to:
