Cheers, Mike,
Spotted it.
While I'm on what sort of quantities of 18thc material i.e.,
chapbooks/songsters, garlands etc didn't make it onto the Bodleian because
of delicate state? I ask because at the imminent TSF meeting I'm about to
raise the subject of what I perceive as a great gap in our resources due to
the often delicate and inaccessible stae of such material. Whenever I visit
an archive they are quite rightly reluctant to let me copy such material. If
there was a push to get as much of this stuff put on microfilm or online as
possible then they'd never need to be touched again by human hand!
BTW I still think the Bodleian is the greatest resource online. Can you
switch loyalties across to Cambridge??
