but the site's been online for over 12 months? I guess they wanted to avoid another census fiasco, and so had a 12 month non-publicised trial...

I wondered how long it'd take you to post

expensive!

Not as expensive as a trip to London....

― Vicky (Vicky), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 11:16 (twenty-two years ago)

that is a good point!

but I think they should only charge people who NEED the information or the people who will USE it for something.

That would be an interesting but somewhat controversial pricing strategy.

yeah, I guess some people might try to take advantage.

By pretending they only want to look at things for trivial reasons.

this is one of the few reasons that the future will be better.

I live around the corner. Why do I need it on the web? ;-)

Round the corner?! the BL might be round the corner, but the national archives aren't unless you've just moved to Kew ;0)

― Vicky (Vicky), Tuesday, 16 March 2004 13:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, wait, sorry, I got confused. The National Sound Archives are round the corner. The National Archives are indeed out in Kew, I should remember this from when HSA was doing all that Imber research.
