This is excellent news for the DCOT and for the public, as it means that the archive will remain in the UK, be housed appropriately, conserved and catalogued. It also means that it will be accessible once again to the public for research purposes.
A fuller public announcement including greater detail will be made in due course.
Here are a few pictures of the archive being loaded in the Strand, London, to be delivered to the British Library, it’s new home.
