Working with reproduced records between archive visits

Close reproductions of Royal Navy documents let researchers work with the material between archive visits and reserve scarce travel time for other collections.

Notes

Even a nearby archive offers only so much research time. Fight for the Fjords reproduces Royal Navy documents closely enough to support sustained work away from a reading room. Researchers can use the collection at home and reserve travel and booking time for material that cannot be consulted elsewhere. The volume is a campaign source that also fits into a wider research routine.
