Without disputing your account in any way, Jim, as I understand the EFDSS had nothing to do initially with the Carpenter Collection coming onto their website. The project was a joint one between Aberdeen University and the LoC and I think funded by the LoC. If I remember aright the decision to place it on the EFDSS website was a relatively recent one. It probably had more to do with the fact that David Atkinson was seconded to Aberdeen Uni to work on the Collection and he is also the editor of EFDSS's Folk Music Journal.
