I might mention that I also sent the student a copy of 'A brief guide to
primary sources for mining history', text which appeared in the last NAMHO
Heritage Guide (3rd edn) and is also now available on the web at
http://www.exter.ac.uk/~pfclaugh/mhinf/sources.htm
The latter will be updated as I become aware of changes, so the information
on the new location for the Coal Authority records, including the
abandonment plans, was very useful. [...]48_25Jan200318:17:[log in to unmask]

www.namho.org then "Guidelines" then "Guidelines on Archival Research &
Publication"
There is a mine of info there!

Mike,
Are we using the same hymn sheet?
I was referring to my recollection of Hammersley's opinion in 'Technique or
Economy; the rise and decline of the early English copper industry',
Business History, XV, (1973), pp. 1-31. Having now found the paper I note

Obviously not. I always try to use people's most recent work, which in this
case is:-
"Daniel Hechstetter the younger - Memorabilia and Letters 1600-1639 - Copper
Works and Life in Cumbria".
Edited by George Hammersley, published by Franz Steiner, Stuttgart, in 1988.
In the intervening 15 years, Hammersley appears to have refined his view of
the Lake District operations. [...]43_26Jan200313:58:[log in to unmask]
