Hi all - this is my very first post here and I hope I am doing this right!

I wanted to thank you Rob for this article - it's quite sad to hear that the funding could dry up for such a project and I agree, archival material is great when it comes getting a first hand impression of certain events.

The article mentions that the Papers Project was an expansion from the Legal Papers Project - I didn't know that until reading this article. And yet, I have used this database so many times in the past.
