Work of Permanent Value
Our work produces documents on the women
priests’ issue which, once copied and edited, are added to our permanent
collection. We are building up an internet library. We are not producing
texts that disappear once they are out of date.
Our ‘assembly line’
Many people do not realise the time and work required
for this kind of work. We need to research the material, locate a printed
article or book in a library, obtain it for perusal, scan its text into the
computer, acquire permissions from authors & publishers, edit the text for
printing mistakes, then provide it, in html-format, with all the necessary
‘links’. Extra work is also involved by getting the text translated
into other languages. Producing one more document for our collection
usually involves its moving along on a ‘conveyor belt’ from one
person to the next.
To give an idea of how many documents we have at
present in our internet library ( 1 October 2002):

Between these documents we have laid more than 32,500 internal
‘links’. Visitors to our German section, for instance, are led on
to English texts once German documents are exhausted. Spanish-speaking visitors
are led on to French, then English; and so on. We create a ‘web’ of
information!
We also offer 600+ images and illustrations, among them the
following picture galleries:
- picture gallery of Mary Priest (14 images)
- picture meditations on Mary of Magdala (15 images)
- poem & art meditations on the New Woman (18
images)
- picture gallery of ordained Anglican women bishops (5
images)
- picture gallery of Catholic women called to the
priesthood (20 images)
