Thread Name: Ruskin College Archive Destruction
Subject: RE: Ruskin College Archive Destruction
I'm not sure what the relevance of the two articles Raggytash refers to is. The first has been mentioned twice already and the second seems to be concerned entirely with the implications of the Data Protection. (That's unless I've missed something. Time being what it is, I've only speedread that one. So if there is anything else, my apologies.)
Reading between the lines however, it looks as though the MacColl/Seeger archive is safe. That was the main reason for my starting this thread, and the reason why I put it above the line, rather than in BS. In any event, I'll be seeing Peggy in a few weeks time, so I'll be able to check the situation with her direct. BTW. I've been trying to contact the library for two days and have been unable to get through, due to a fault on the line.
As a counter to those two articles, David Horsfield , who is the former librarian at Ruskin has written a rejoinder in support of Hilda Kean's argument. It is well worth reading.
