I've changed the Subject: line because this has
little to do with
the original subject, which in any case is best forgotten.
Yep.
a museum that won't let somebody who is giving
their
time free of charge to help with the operation of that museum
look at their collection of documentation is certainly doing
the above.
This is a little like the issue of showing proper respect to Don Maslin's
wife. Build a friendship first, then pursue your interests second.
Might I suggest 1./ Identify a person most like yourself. 2./ Find your
best book on the period in your collection. 3./ Loan it to this person.
4./ Wait 1 to 2 months. 5./ Converse on the subject.
There's 5 steps, there could be more... then make your request.
I do not suffer fools or droids gladly, ...
Uh,
No.
