Malcolm,
I'm not sure what we will be able to do with larger artefacts like costumes. I don't think the History Centre will be able to take these but I'll enquire. Ideally Hull Museums should take these but they say they are bursting at the seams. Perhaps the Club Museum on Humber Street will be the ideal spot for these. I still have part of Mick Robbie's old morris leather jerkin. Can't find the Green Ginger Band sign though.

Regarding Folk News. I have just checked and I have a complete run from number 1 to 152 (lacking 153-4) then 156 and I'm not sure how long it lasted after that. Toying with the idea of indexing it. Should easily get copies of the later ones we need.

I've had my set of the Dover Child now for many years and if they'd come from the library they'd have the FU1 stamp on them. My set originally belonged to Michael Dawney, he of Iron Muse fame. The only stuff we would include in the archive is anything with actual Hull connection anyway.
