Margaret,
I would suggest that our Millennium response is quite
realistic (unfortunately). Some people feel strongly that
Institutions themselves should be funding these collections
(which in many cases are their own institutional records)
however when the Institutions do not accept this
responsibility exciting and important collections become
inaccessible to external researchers, which is depressing.
