It's a worthy cause. The VCH is still being published piecemeal, and as the name
suggests began in 19th-century antiquarian mode. It is partially digitised by
BHO. Its coverage of local history is generally pretty useful, fact-orientated
stuff.

So, rationalising the referencing on Wikipedia, and perhaps building a
mix'n'match catalog to help develop up its use in Wikidata's external links,
look like constructive things to do.

I have also now proposed a property for the British History Online's
Victoria County History pages :

   
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/British_History_Online_VCH_ID

and am suggesting that we update the associated template on Wikipedia
to sue that site's new-style URLs:

   
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Cite_Victoria_County_History#Obsolete

Again, your comments are invited.
