Don't forget David wasn't only interested in Welsh Mines His note books cover mines in many locations (including South Gloucestershire) and separating them up would be difficult. I expect he also had a wealth of information and details covering many regions. A single depository would probably be better certainly for things like his note books although some items specific to a location could no doubt be sent to a relevant public record office close to that site. The important thing is the catalogue i.e. if a notebook of his is deposited at a record office (say in Wales) it would be good for there to be a list of which mines it covers so that someone from another area contained in it would at least know to go there to find it Regards David -----Original Message----- From: mining-history [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Bernard Moore Sent: 14 September 2007 10:13 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [MINING-HISTORY] re David Bick Dear Paul, I completely agree with you on the very important point of a 'Central Inventory'. With regards any data on Welsh mines/mining, I feel it would be better in many ways that such papers resided in one central place, viz., the National Library of Wales... my thoughts anyway.
