Without a catalogue you are spending money to store something you can’t access.

If you don’t have a catalogue you can’t prove to the insurers that you ever had it when it’s nicked/damaged - This is working for my clients at the moment.

I’ve had this with several sites when I use a VPN . Which is more annoying when it turns itself on. I’ve stopped that now thank goodness.

Did you know that access to government records was one of the many grievances enumerated in the Declaration of Independence. That's right, transparency and access to government archives and records has been a paramount value of the US from day one! #AskAnArchivist

Does anything come up when you search all the censuses via address search on FMP? Or check if the local archive has street indexes?

I know we often measure Archive collections in Olympic swimming pools, but can anyone think of a smaller equivalent for cubic metres? Just over half an Olympic swimming pool isn’t hitting the spot!

Please excuse the typo. There was of course only one Ken Dodd.

Having catalogued the archive of a Ken Dodd, the master of a comprehensive touring show, I thought I had seen everything. But this? Mind you, Ken came home to his own bed most nights. I wonder if the same is the case here?????
