Re: Historical directories

Dear Jamie,

We'd be happy to host the material/db but we aren't in a position to 
contribute funding to maintain the project (particularly as it currently 
isn't 'open'[1] due to the variety of restrictions on use they impose). 
Do you have any idea whether they'd be willing to contribute the 
material under a truly open license to a group such as ourselves so it 
can at least be maintained into the future?

Regards,

Rufus

PS: This is exactly the kind of material/project to add into thhe 
Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network (http://www.ckan.net/). So if 
you do come across other stuff like this and you have a minute it would 
be great if you could add it there.
