Actually, I am making some inroads with federal institutions and libraries so
the veracity of your argument is evident. My problem seems to mostly occur
with private libraries and state/private universities. Unfortunately, I do
not have a degree at all, let alone one outside my field of interest. Without
such a degree it is very difficult to convince a collection curator that you
are in fact very much aware of the fragility of a 600 year old manuscript and
harder yet to convince them that you really do have legitimate reasons to be
allowed access to it.
As I posted in the note immediately preceding this one, I am having less
difficulties in such areas within the federal archives. :-)
