Iain,

Sure, good idea.

Who holds the copyright?  Who's the author?

I don't know.

Just need to know the above pieces of information.

I can't decipher the format on that one.  Can you send it in HTML, please.

Maybe I've got them backwards.  The one I can read begins:

FJAERE KIRKE - GRIMSTAD - JARL RAGNVALD -
 AND ST MAGNUS CATHEDRAL - KIRKWALL - ORKNEY<br>
<BR>
In the Fjaere Kirke close to modern Grimstad, Southern Norway there is a
plaque celebrating the church's connections with the 850<SUP>th</SUP>
Anniversary (in 1987) of the founding of St Magnus Cathedral in
Kirkwall, Orkney.

Please send the other in HTML.
