January, and once again it is time for a trip to the archive.
Last week was spent invigilating exams in order to pay for this trip. Now I am once again in Leeds, ferreting around in the Dead Russian Guys' Archive.
As I began photographing today Richard pointed out I may actually be duplicating my efforts and indeed it seems I am. The Dead Russian Guys had one set of archives ready to send to Prague and one to keep for themselves in Paris (more extensive). I have photographed the ones due to be sent to Prague and am half way through the French ones but they may actually be the same files. I am left with the decision of whether to continue as I planned (and possibly duplicate my photos) or rely on the ones due for the Prague archive. The dilemma lies in whether the one archive is more complete than the other. It will probably take a couple of days to photograph the rest of these documents but I could possibly get more benefit from moving on through the archive. At the moment I am moving on but am holding onto the duplicate files incase I have some time this week to devote to them. Complicated!Richard is very helpful and allows me to call up loads of files at a time giving me the tme to decide such complicated questions!.
I am staying in the Merrion Best Western again and it is quite comfortable. The room is small but looks like it has been recently decorated and the resaturant is reasonably priced. The food is actually very good and the service is pleasant (though slow at times)
