Request for images
Would it be possible to get as many from numbers 1,2,3,4 and 33 from hereas depict Muhammed Ali Jinnah uploaded? As those are listed as having been taken by British officials, they would have had their Crown Copyright expire by now. The article is at FAC and probably will lose a number of images once the image check is done, so I'd be grateful for assistance.--Wehwalt (talk) 06:16, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Whups - didn't notice this all those many months ago! I was ill and then away for a good chunk of November; my apologies. Wehwalt - after we talked on IRC a while back I dropped an email to one of the curators to ask about those images, but looking over my mails it seems to have fallen into a void. I'll try and chase it up again for you. Andrew Gray (talk) 12:39, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks. Wasn't certain of your screen name here.--Wehwalt (talk) 14:50, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Legislation
As a deposit library, the BL should have access to copies of governmental material from around 1860 or so...

I would like to source an alternate copy of the Chrnological Table of The Statutes from 1877, in order to repair some seemingly damaged pages present in the copy currently being used at Wikisource. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:32, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Can you upload everything
... from the local histories search page (the link you have added in the GLAM/BL/Books) section or it needs to be PD book? --Tito Dutta (talk) 02:43, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Opposition to page moves?
Is there any opposition to moving these pages to reflect the full name of the organization (British Library)? I think abbreviations should be reserved for redirects, and that way (when browsing categories or project pages) readers know which institution is being referenced. I may have been too bold when I decided to go ahead and move some of the project pages without sharing my intentions here first. Happy to have the pages moved reverted if project contributors do not prefer having the full name of the organization displayed in the page names. Thanks. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 03:55, 18 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't have any particular objection (to be honest, I only just noticed now) but we need to move them all! There's a broken link on the front page here at the moment as a result of partial moves. Andrew Gray (talk) 20:09, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
