For professional colleagues who haven't seen it, November's issue of Family Tree Magazine contains an article by Richard Westwood-Brookes, head of documents at a Shropshire auction house, entitled "Buying and Selling Document: A view from the saleroom."
It makes interesting, not to say worrying reading for archivists, and anyone who cares about public access to the nation's documentary heritage.
Unfortunately Family Tree Magazine doesn't seem to be on line.
