Zowie! My old turf! I spent MANY hours in the Register House and the West
Register House in 1980-81 and again in 1987-88, trying not to put too much
additional wear on documents from this period. Also lots of time nearby
at the National Library of Scotland. Of course, troublemakers like me want to
ensure that you also digitize the BACK of the document, where the scribes put
notes, and so forth. The staff at the West Register House once actually took
a 13th century papal letter out of the display case in the lobby so that I
could check up on the scribal notations -- very helpful people.
