Drawn Evidence

Archiver · Post by **Archiver** » Tue Sep 02, 2008 2:25 pm

Does anyone know what is going on with this project? None of the websites seem to work (there are two out there...) and I can't find anything about it on the Dundee University pages. Anyone any clues? Has it been superceded by the National Library's digital maps and incorporated into that site?

The two website addresses I have found for the project are:

www.drawnevidence.ac.uk
www.drawn-evidence.dundee.ac.uk

Neither of them work.

Hi Archiver
There is some info, which you have no doubt already seen, about it here.
http://www.rslp.ac.uk/projects/research/23.htm
Maybe worth contacting Patricia Whatley at Dundee (email at bottom of that page) to enquire.
Kind of looks like it has fizzled out for one reason or another...funding perhaps? A lack of that usually seems to be behind the collapse of otherwise good ideas!

Best wishes
Lesley

The WayBackMachine at the Internet Archive doesn’t appear to have detected a pulse there since early 2007 and all it has is the bare bones. http://www.archive.org/index.php

This page says, but how old is the page? “Many plans of Scottish buildings accessed in a digital format via the Drawn Evidence (currently unavailable) website.” http://www.dundee.ac.uk/archives/source-history.htm

Unless they intend it to be ”University Only.”

Thank you to you both! That's quite interesting about the internet archive. I might get in touch with Patricia Whately and see if she can shed some light on the project.

Thanks again!
