Canberra National Library - LOOKUP

[pcjey]

Is there any one who can go to the National Library in Canberra for me and copy one page, of a file? 

this is the reference:

MS 479
Papers of Lord Tennyson
Appendix 12

Index to Series 38 : Letters relating to the Queen Victoria Maternity Hospital Rose Park, South Australia.

(a) Letters received by Audrey Georgiana Florence, Lady Tennyson

WAY LEE, Y. S. W. – 4 July 1901 : Adelaide : forwards money collected among Chinese in South Australia for the Queen Victoria Maternity Hospital : 479/38, p. 21

Thank you very much  TRISH

Our wonderful chatter who usually visits NLA is on an overseas holiday.  Why don't you use their copying service?  I have always found the staff to be extremely helpful.

Thanks Cando do you know how long the person will be away?

Sorry...no idea.  Why not contact NLA about having the one page copied.

Thanks Cando,
I may have to contact them to do the copy it is $13.50 for only one page . They told me I can have up to 1-50 pages in the one file for $13.50.  Seams a lot for one page, cheap for 50 pages.  However it is cheaper than going to Canberra.
Thanks Regards TRISH

Hello,

I am in New Zealand, and they copied several pages out of a book and posted to me. No charge.  This was about 5 years ago.

Hi Jean - times have changed

Trish I does seem expensive for one page, however it still takes the same time to retrieve a file no matter how many pages are to be copied.  Good  luck.

Cheers

You were lucky Jean, I too remember not too long ago when the National Archives, would scan an image and put it online for FREE now there is also a charge with them.  So I expect it is all the same with Libraries and Archives these days.
Take care TRISH

 :)Yes Cando, it all takes time, to get the file do the work, so really I suppose it is not expensive in the big picture.
Take care  TRISH
