had to chuckle about your e-mail. Hope you get replies that will be
helpful. It must be frustrating to sit in Alberta and want to write
about German-speaking or French-speaking miners in Luxembourg in the
1880s. Hewre are a few tips: read Charles Dickens and D. H. Lawrence,
and other Britishers. They wrote about workers and miners and social
conditions during the Industrial Revolution in Britain; that revolution
came later on the Continent but much of what had happened in Britain was
repeated on the Continent. You would certainly get much of the flavor

rules governing copyright, particularly in relation to old books, magazines
etc.
I understood it that anything over 75 years was deemed 'in the public
domain'.
Also, if a publication has no copyright message, does this mean it can be
copied?
Many thanks

The Derbyshire is only one lead mining field - albeit an important one in
the early modern period - of many in England and Wales. Each developed in a
unique manner - often defined by the system of land / mineral ownership, the
quality ond/or depth of the ore deposits, the markets for the product etc. -
but it was not unusual 'borrow' techniques from other fields. [...]46_30Jan199922:07:[log in to unmask]

How about contacting RJB or similar? The publicity departments would
probably be able to help.
Alternatively, does Dowty mining in Cheltenham still exist? They used to
make them.
