This might be a long way from the interersts of anyone here, but in Oxonensia 2008 there is an article on Underhill who painted his own latern slides of ancient stone monuments for his lectures and some of them are reproduced. This is a visual resource which it would be well worth organising an event for them to be shown. Ever medium has a message.

Hello John, Underhill's ancient sites slides are online here

If you'd like to enquire with the University under the auspices of the Megalithic Portal Society about getting them shown them at an event then please do. I suspect they may consider them too fragile. These days you could approximate the experience with a digital projector of course.
We need to think about what we could do for a summer 'Festival of British Archaeology' event. I think going out of the SE of England is going to be out for myself and family this year and I'm not getting the inspiration to organise anything major in Central London due to cost and travel for everyone.

many thanks.... I should have looked myself!
Incidently the Archaeological Journal is now on ads.ac.uk, as is the Berkshire and Surrey. The Prehistoric Society proceedings are on their own or some other site, but all of these use the most rudimentary search facility. Ditto LAMAS.
The summer thing could be done entirely virtually of course. With a visit to a local museum and then make a message. I was in Windsor trying to track down the axes referred to in Adkins 1978. The stuff is in store and the library has nothing. Axes aren't megaliths, but they have something to do with the Thames, so a river walk. Then I was in Kingston and all the same stuff. These collections have names but searching on the journal collections for Rawlins (the Windsor one) produced only one reference, and Adkins has a catalogue of axes and a bibliography, but doesn't cite the bibliography reference with the catalogue entry. The ground stone axes (ie not flint, in this lithic university flint is not a stone) are catalogued in CBA67, but by county. SO Middlesex!
There must be an easier way of doing this. But rather a stray from the magic lantern slides.
