FindmyPast digitising English and Welsh school registers

The UK FindmyPast site (www.findmypast.co.uk) has announced that it has started work on a two year project to digitise over a million English and Welsh school registers from 1870-1914, including the records of many Industrial Schools in that period. The project is being carried out in partnership with the Archives and Records Association.
