Given the arsenal of historic riches at the National Archives at Kew -
over 11 million documents and items dating from A.D. 974 including
treasures such as the Domesday Book, William Shakespeare's will, the
(rather shaky, post-interrogation) signed confession of Guy Fawkes and
the abdication letter of Edward VIII - one might be forgiven for
thinking that the sprawling riverside building tucked behind Kew's smart
residential streets is just for the finest minds of academia. And of
course, those good folk do pass through these hallowed doors, but so too
can anyone visit.
