In that case can ask the UK TNMOC why I should continue to support them
if they can't do a simple task like this, surely they are the UK
National Museum, they should be able to make this stuff available.

I also do think that its important to be able to physically see some
artifacts. There is more to Computer History than software and hardware
There are things that physical objects such as a trolley of IBM hardware
manuals, or a reel of 9-track tape, or a box of cards conveys that you
don't get from scans to PDF or from Reading the cards in. That's why
Museums such as MOSi have article handling areas where you can handle
objects.

A pity that UK related stuff goes to the US where
we can't see and
touch it....
The documents will be scanned, the tapes and cards read.
This is more than would occur anywhere else but at CHM.
