Hi Guys
You've go off the track. The original discussion was about photographing
documents in Records offices where the original copies are held not
material generated by researches. That is a different issue and not part
of the original discussion.
You can go to any records office and see the original documents unless
they have been put onto fiche or film.
Cheers
Allan
