i am researching an article about william kurelek, a prarie artist, who ended up instatutionalised, for somewhere b/w 4-8 years...here are my questions
kureleks main biographer morely, claims that she couldnt get access to the records in the late 70s, but her work sounds like she did get access (it says this: All records less than 30 years old are closed to public inspection; staff records are closed for 75 years; records relating to named patients are closed to public inspection for one hundred years...so im fucked here---if i get permission from the estate, or if its academic, or are there other loopholes?
part of the access i want to get to is the maudsley hospital in london (now part of kings college london), part of what i want to get is in surrey, so part of teh national archives...does this mean that all of his records are in surrey, or in london or somewhere else, as the natherne hosptial grounds are now condos
how do i get access, from canada, if i can get into there at all
part of what i want to get into, is the edward admonson collection, who owns several of he paintings i want to talk about, but that website is down: http://www.slamart.org.uk/p2_artsprojects/adamson_collection.htm
he seems really kind of famous, some abstracts, adn other things--so could i get his general notes somehow?

Ian Sinclair, in his book London Orbital, pokes around quite a few former mental hospitals, most undergoing or having already undergone redevelopment as appartments.
He claims that former patients records were burned by the skip load.
