Subject: RE: Vaughan Williams Memorial Library & its importance
What folk music archive in Scotland are you thinking of?

Compared with the School of Scottish Studies library in Edinburgh, the VWML is a palace. Everything else in Scotland is in closed stacks (with very helpful librarians in the case of the NLS, but still not browsable). And most of the SSS's stock is in the upstairs room that only the director's friends ever get to go into.
