I’m back in the AoHL (ex RNID) library. There’s loads of Deaf historical information here which I’m collecting that links to the St Saviour’s Church that was on Oxford Street.

My method is really to take thousands of photos – for two reasons.

First, since I don’t live in London, I can’t come in every day and look at the books when I want. So the best thing to do is to take photos, and then I can look at the books at home.

Second, the books are old… and if you read them too much they start to fall apart. The best way to work with them is to take photos once, and then keep the book safe, and work from the photos.

Note: I’ll probably be finished in here today… so I’ll be moving on to the London Metropolitan Archive tomorrow, which is where they keep all the information about the Royal Association for the Deaf.

I’m not sure if they’ll have good internet access, so I might not be able to upload from inside the archive. I’ll have to wait and see.
