Image removed.In a previous post about the move, I mentioned that we'd come across a book with a rather appropriate title, given the work we were undertaking. Continuing on a similar theme, we couldn't let the safe relocating of another volume pass without comment. Books on the Move, the volume with a purple spine in the image on the right, has now found its home in the new store. Elsewhere, our manuscript collections continue to be picked, packed, carried and placed. Many of them are, of course very well-travelled, such as the logbooks that have been on board ships and carried around the globe.

There's still some way to go with the move but we're making steady progress. We're all looking forward to a time when our books are no longer on the move and available to view in the reading room.
