Unitofone thankyou for your kind words and taking the time to comment.
In a sense quite so, try doing a search on Tournai Marble font for example or look at [URL="http://www.suffolkchurches.co.uk"]www.[/URL]suffolkchurches.co.uk or http://www.oxfordshirechurches.info/ or an individual church on achurchnearyou or images of England and so on and so on. (A links page will be added)
The following things that are different are or will be:
1. The scope when all are loaded in one place.
2. The high resolution
3. The lack of restrictions on use
4 The speed of downloading large numbers of images
5 That they are a systematic recording of the buildings
So with the digital revolution have we got to the stage that the recording of Parish Churches is unnecessary? I am not sure that we have yet. Is it possible to work towards this.
There are issues of cataloguing and archiving as well as the meta-data for the mass of data out there.
There are also some scholarly websites such as http://www.crsbi.ac.uk/index.html - the corpus of Romanesque sculpture - which has been compiled for the last 68 years and is not complete.
For the moment then the website is just a collection of images. I may add accounts of things in due course. In due course uses for the photograph smay emerge which is why I am putting them on the internet. For example a local archive officer is going to utilise them in local history packs for schools. Good. I have arranged with her that if she lets me know what she is working on then Iwill make sure an example is on the net.
I have started adding the material on Parish Churches I have worked on, oncethe projects are in the public domain or when I have the client’s permission to add them. An example can be found under project churches.
For me my choice for my leisure time is writing scholarly material on parish churches, photographing more of them or going down the pub. Have to say at the weekends I like not to spend all of it sitting in front of a computer screen.
