Hi Jacqui,
I mentioned this to Elizabeth Savage, who isn’t on this list. She suggested you also post it to [log in to unmask] . It’s a listserv she runs with Giles Bergel about printing surfaces like these. (If you’re not already a member, you’d need to join there list first at jiscmail.ac.uk/blocksplatesstones .)
Best wishes,
Simon

Subject: Engraved plates on printing blocks - new home needed
Dear all
Any help would be appreciated in finding a new home for a collection of engraved plates mostly mounted on wood blocks that were used for the RUSI Journal between 1914 and 1960. They were discovered hidden away by the contractors now in possession of 61 Whitehall after I arranged for the collections to go into storage. There is no space for them at the RUSI offices in Pall Mall and I have been given 4 weeks to find a new home for them or they will be thrown away.
I have started to clean and rewrap them and inventory them on a spreadsheet which I can share. They would occupy 5-6 of the 48 x 48 cm 'really useful' boxes. I had hoped to use them as the focus of a collaborative doctoral award, which if a new home is found could go ahead together. For more information please email me at [log in to unmask] Please bear with me because I am on flexi-furlough and working 2 days a week.
Best
Jacqui
