Message: [QUOTE="Inger Sheil, post: 147631, member: 139659"] G'day Mark - The Liverpool Records office does indeed have a sampling of crew agreements (a part of that small proportion that are not at Newfoundland, Kew or Greenwich but distributed to local records officers). There are some other bits and bobs in there as well - some of them quite surprising. Good to get feedback on the UFTM - I've never had cause to use them, but I know others seem to have good experiences there. I suspect I'm not alone in owing acknowledgements up and down the country - there are all sorts of small local studies units in libraries and record offices throughout Wales and Yorkshire in particular that have been very helpful. Southampton, too - the archives down there are another excellent source. Among many overseas libraries, Newark and our own Pat Winship deserve a nod here. Pat has helped many researchers access sources in the USA, and not just those relating to her local area. Yah - it's difficult to keep track of document distribution without the assistance of ARCHON! Drop us a line when you're down here next for a visit to Kew - I need to get out there again fairly soon. The backlog is building up. [/QUOTE]
