 (2) I just spent half the day with a year thirteen student, [[Colin%27s Page#head-a568e2b0c6f34ac45ed32e9cb21779b66d1c68b7|Daniel Richards]], at the TNA in Kew, showing him HCA documents from 1656-1678, and it reminded me that we will need to be efficient in taking people, some of them who have never sat down an read an original document, and getting them to a decent level of confidence and productivity.  By the way Daniel tells me that he wants to join the team, so (when he confirms officially), we have a second school involved, the well known comprehensive school, the London Oratory, in West London.
-(3) We can easily provide digital images of relevant documents, and I was proposing that we are very concentrated on HCA documents, and the type of scripts and language that we will all be encountering over the next fourteen weeks.  No need to learn Elizabethan or early Jacobean scripts.  I think it is a good idea to do close ups of specific letters and the variance you can see around them.  I have probably five hundred digital images of HCA documents already on my laptop, and will start to go through a few for different script types and to experiment with enlarging letters and words.  I'll post some examples to the palaography section of this wiki, so that people can comment on the effectiveness of this approach.

 (4) We can certainly video or otherwise record parts of the palaeography session, and post the recording, probably best done as short thematic clips, to the wiki or website (need to check technical side for this, but Giovanni Colavizza can help us here.  I'll add Giovanni to the current users of the wiki) --[[Users/ColinGreenstreet|Users/ColinGreenstreet]]
