Was there some kind of paper crisis in Switzerland in 1921?
Today I started on the League of Nations documents...or rather the reports by the Zemgor representative in Geneva. At first they were typed on good quality paper but as time went on the quality deteriorated and by the time I got to the end of the file they were on terrible transparent paper which had a blue tinge and the ink was also blue. It was so difficult to get decent photographs! Even trying to read them was difficult. Urghh!
Although progress has been slow this week I have managed to get through the files and tomorrow will move onto the next series. The worst part has been photographing the documents. It is such a repetitive set of motions that my back and shoulder have really been complaining today. Each set of documents have taken 2 hours to photograph and by the time I finished tonight I was in agony. I thought I would have to sleep on the floor tonight to straighten my back out! However a quick curry and a beer has helped enormously!
