Are any pals planning to be in the Dutch Nationaal Archief any time soon? I have two things I'd love to see (no more than a page of manuscript to photograph in each) if anyone's there and has the bandwidth!

Great to be at North Yorkshire archives for a spot of research. Thanks to the very helpful staff, I mastered the new iteration of the microfilm machine!
