Positives: PARTNERSHIP STRATEGY we strongly encourage people to do this, a direct link would make it easier for users. It might persuade those who have digitized to allow us to transcribe it might, if commercial companies are persuaded, open more records for us

Negatives: resources n implementation potential confusion/dislike by users
