Hi Smedley,

I'm in contact with Newcastle via both Vic Gammon and Chris Coe and their library's ability to handle archive material is limited by resources. Additionally I'd say that academic institutions like universities are not good repositories for anything you might be wishing to reside in the public domain. If anything, they are worse than the BL for access as you need to be in the academic community. At least with the BL you only have to be rich.
