The SSS is one of the most important archives in Scotland. This really came home to me when I was working on the two Kyloe CDs of material recorded by Hamish Henderson. There is just so much material here - all of it priceless. If it gets split up and put under the administration of non-specialists then who knows what might happen. I have signed the petition and will be writing to the Scottish Office. I urge others to contact whoever they can, seeking help to prevent this disintegration from ever taking place.
