I have prepared a list of over 200 collections of militaria in Britain and Ireland. The list covers the major national museums for the Army, Royal Navy, Marines and Royal Air Force, as many of the corps and regimental collections as I can be reasonably certain of, and those general and private museums that include significant collections of weapons or other items of military interest. The museums are grouped into 10 regional areas of the British Isles. Through the courtesy of Glen Segell of Kings College London this list is now available for ftp, or access by Gopher or World Wide Web, from MAILBASE but be warned it is a long one: 94630 bytes of text that print out to over 2000 lines. Instructions for accessing it: anonymous ftp: ftp mailbase.ac.uk login: anonymous username: your e-mail address set file type binary (not strictly necessary as this is an ascii text file, not compressed) cd /pub/lists-k-o/military-history/files get archive.uk1 Gopher: Type=1 Name=UK-MILITARY-ARCHIVES Host=mailbase.ac.uk Port=70 Path=11/lists-k-o/military-history/files/archive.uk1 or follow the Gopher menus: Mailbase (UK)/ Mailbase Lists K - O/ military-history/ Other Files/ archive.uk1 WWW URL: gopher://nisp.ncl.ac.uk/11/lists-k-o/military-history/files/archive.uk1 I hope people find this list useful. Please send me suggestions and corrections, as I intend to keep it updated once or twice a year. In the meantime, I am starting work on a similar list of Naval, Maritime and Life-Boat museums in the British Isles. Happy visiting! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Martin H Evans e-mail: [log in to unmask] .Thu 06-10-94 111 High Street, Linton, Cambridgeshire CB1 6JT, UK 'phone: in UK: (0223) 891469.
