[TI] Descriptsion of Cathedral Archives.

[Rosalie]

What's incredible is that Laura is doing this with 3 other people and 
everyone that said they would help dropped out and I see at least 2 or more 
years left to go to gather all the documents.  The translating people are 15 
films behind what I have gathered.  It's taking a long time to process every 
thing.  From gathering to translating to getting it on the database.  I 
think that's right.
