This afternoon I'm trying a new approach to digitising. I've got a small stack of 1920-40 letters, and am photographing them all in a set and shall upload them as a single #InternetArchive item. This is slightly annoying from the IA browsing perspective, because they're not all related other than roughly in time and in connection with Q33169956, but it will be faster! Each will get its own catalogue record, and so will be in context there (along with transcriptions etc.).

Pile of a dozen or so letters, each with a corner piece of paper and paper-clip.

Definitely more clumsy having them all in one item: https://archive.org/details/HMW290

But the individual records work fine of course: https://hmwilson.archives.org.au/items/292.html

So if this saves time, I think it's okay.
