Thread Name: Vaughan Williams Memorial Library & its importance
Subject: RE: Vaughan Williams Memorial Library & its importance
A point that has not been raised is that any serious researcher into traditional music is probably, sooner or later, going to end up in the British Library, and in Cecil Sharp House. Now, at the moment they are conveniently close to each other. This would no longer be the case if they are redistributed round various unpreposessing midlands towns. Now if they were both in Tamsworth that might be fine, but you try persuading both lots of owners to relocate simultaneously.
