Hi Andrew
Very, very nice. This really does the collection justice. And great to see
direct download links for media.
Three quick questions though
- it doesn't appear to be possible to get shareable links for filtered
search results. Is that true?
- are all the works really "© Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II 2014"? Surely
much of it is Public Domain?
- any plans for an API?
Thanks for the reminder of the clocks change. Though it does mean there's
one less hour to explore the collections!
Cheers, James
