Message: [QUOTE="Mark Chirnside, post: 147630, member: 141801"] Hi Inger, Thanks for adding some excellent sources to the thread. You are quite right to point out to the helpfulness of some institutions in relation to a particular field. Am I right in thinking that the Liverpool Records Office also has some crew lists? I seem to remember it does. I've found several Canadian and American institutions helpful. I have made use of the UFTM -- although always by enquiry, as I was unable to visit myself when I was writing my first book. It's got a very helpful staff, an excellent collection of photos, and some good sources. Sadly some material isn't in too good a shape. I think I was last at Kew in early April, yes. I too prefer PRO, as it sounds much better. I seem to remember that their copyright guidelines had National Archives on for a while before that, but I may be mistaken. I hoped to get down there again this summer once my exams/holidays/leaving celebrations were all over, but might have to make do with a date by the end of this year. One thing I am sure of: with so many mergers it's a wonder anyone keeps track of anything! Best regards, Mark. [/QUOTE]
