Saving the writing on Gravestones

Hi CG UK

I heard on the news there is a big push on to save the writing on graves as it is all being eroded away and the history is being lost. There's just been a competition to find the best, or 'gravest' quotes and two have been found in Sussex.

They've asked for people to write out what's on local graves to record for posterity...wouldn't it be better to photograph?

Is this a project that would come under the umbrella of CG UK or should I set up a seperate group after further investigation of what the saving our heritage people really want/need?
