Man, this ought to be fun! Unfortunately, they're saying it will take a few years to complete.

Ya, it'll take awhile to digitalize the documents. Finland's doing the same for the war diearies of the different regiments that took part in the Winter War. Lot of work, but well worth it in the end.

The first phase will take in excess of three years but it has got to be worth the wait to see what's stored in that WWII Aladdins Cave

Pfff...! Another example of British pride and arrogance. Pfffff.....!

OK, seriously speaking it will be very interesting to know what is stored there.
