Dear Brian, Was it Take the Children, The Life of the Lace Girls Working in Honiton and the East Midlands Districts, from Evidence Given to John Edward White, M.A. for the 1862 Royal Commission, published by Alan Brown. I had forgotten about this book. I must reread it! Your trip sounds delightful. Maybe it is Beer or Sidmouth, rather than Ottery St. Mary that I should go to for local color. I am totally confused about the Royal Albert Memorial Museum of Art in Exeter. Speaking from the stand point of a total outsider, it sounds as though it might not be a branch of the V&A, since the name is different. I don't find it odd that someone as influential as Prince Albert might be honored with two museums. I, too, was surprised to read the terms of the Open Access for Scholarly Content initiative. Wow! The Met leads the way once again! I hope other museums will follow their lead. Here are the details for those who are interested http://www.metmuseum.org/research/image-resources/frequently-asked-questions Devon
