Dear Oliver Davy Well done. Although this has gone out through the list you may want to ensure widest awareness through Update etc. Glad to put something on MLA website [credited to you of course]from you if you'd care to draft etc Google Earth has a great view of Victoria House where the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council is based!

Hello all, Further to my earlier message about using Google Earth (thanks for the many responses), I can confirm that I got official confirmation from Google themselves stating that there is no problem using the Free version for use by members of the public. The request was originally handed to the head of Google's education initiative, who then forwarded it up the chain for further clarification. They make mention of "another one that may fall through the cracks in the license" so obviously other people have asked them the same question. Just thought it would be nice for everyone who has assumed it would be OK to know that it actually is OK.
